Why OCIA?
The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) is the Catholic Church's process for welcoming those who are unbaptized or baptized in another Christian tradition and seeking full communion with the Catholic Church. It is a journey of prayer, reflection, and gradual conversion, marked by meaningful steps along the way. Do you know someone who regularly attends Mass but hasn’t taken the next step toward becoming Catholic? Maybe a friend who often brings up thoughtful questions about faith, God, or spirituality? Or perhaps it’s you - attending Mass but still missing one or more of the Sacraments? Whoever it may be, take a moment to pray and reflect. To learn more, contact Fr. Hamilton at 410-744-2900
​
Who benefits from OCIA?
-
Anyone who has never been part of a faith community but feels a deep desire to belong.
-
Individuals raised in another Christian tradition who are now curious about the Catholic Church.
-
Baptized Catholics who have not yet received First Communion or Confirmation.
-
Those married to Catholics who want to learn more about the faith and explore the possibility of becoming Catholic.
-
Anyone who senses a call or gentle prompting from the Holy Spirit to take the next step in their spiritual journey.​

Prayer for Pope Leo XIV
O God, Who in Your providential design willed that Your Church be built upon blessed Peter, whom You set over the other Apostles, look with favor, we pray, on our Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV and grant that he, whom You have made Peter’s successor, may be for Your people a visible source and foundation of unity in faith and of communion.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, Who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen​
Pope Leo XIV's Monthly Intention
August 2025 - Prayer for Mutual Coexistence
Let us pray that societies where coexistence seems more difficult might not succumb to the temptation of confrontation for ethnic, political, religious or ideological reasons.
​​
Jesus, Lord of our history, faithful companion and living presence.
You never tire of coming to meet us. Here we are, in need of Your peace.
We live in times of fear and division. Sometimes we act as if we were alone, building walls that separate us from one another, forgetting that we are brothers and sisters.
Send us Your Spirit, Lord, to rekindle within us the desire to understand one another, to listen, to live together with respect and compassion. Give us the courage to seek paths of dialogue, to respond to conflict with gestures of fraternity, to open our hearts to others without fear of differences. Make us builders of bridges, able to overcome borders and ideologies, able to see others through the eyes of the heart, recognizing in every person an inviolable dignity. Help us create spaces where hope can flourish, where diversity is not a threat but a richness that makes us more human. Amen.
