Please contact the Faith Formation office for information on OCITeens.
This program is for:
- Children in 7th Grade or older who have not been in or have not attended the standard sequence of religion classes and are in need of Sacraments.
- Teens who have never been baptized or are from another religious faith and are interested in exploring the possibility of becoming a Catholic.
Catechumens (those not yet baptized) usually attend a special meeting with the Bishop (Rite of Election) and must attend 3 Sunday Scrutinies with their sponsors and families and then receive all their sacraments at the Easter Vigil.
Candidates (those needing Communion & Confirmation) and Confirmandi (those needing Confirmation only) will receive Confirmation (and Communion) with our 8th Year students when the Bishop comes to confer the sacrament.
All OCITeens in the year of the reception of their sacraments will be asked to attend the Confirmation Retreat.
