  • Each of the parishes within our Family of Parishes come together to form one combined OCIA process. OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation for Adults) gives you the opportunity to explore Catholic teaching and ritual through conversation, prayer, and study with a group of parishioners who lead weekly sessions.

    Classes meet weekly from September-May on Wednesdays from 7 PM-8:30 PM  in the St. Mary Robisch Hall (2853 Erie Avenue, Cincinnati, Ohio 45208 - under the church). The first class for the 2025/2026 year is on Wednesday, September 9, 2026.

    Participants who complete the process are initiated into the Catholic Church during the Easter Vigil Mass with the celebration of the Sacraments of Initiation: Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Eucharist. OCIA is for adults and children over 7 years old.

    To register for the OCIA process or for questions about our Catholic faith, please fill out the form below or contact our Director of Catechesis and Evangelization, Haley Metzger.
