The OCIA Rite of Welcome (Order of Christian Initiation of Adults) is a Catholic Church ceremony marking the start of a formal faith journey, where inquirers (Catechumens/Candidates) publicly declare their desire to follow Christ, transitioning from inquirer to an accepted member of the community, often involving Bible readings, receiving a Bible, and being signed with the cross on senses (eyes, ears, lips, heart) to symbolize belonging to Christ before full initiation at Easter.
We will first meet downstairs and partake in the Gaudete Sunday Pancake and Sausage Breakfast. We will then meet upstairs in the Main Church afterwards.
