Catechetical Theme 2022-2023:
"This is my body given for you."
- Luke 22:19

OCIC is a spiritual journey of conversion in which children
become full members of the Catholic Church.

Follows the stages of OCIA but in a manner adapted for
the understanding and maturity level of children, ages 7 and older who:

* have not been baptized, OR
* were baptized as infants but never catechized, OR
* were validly baptized, but into a non-Catholic faith community
and wish to become Catholic

OCIC prepares children over the age of reason (7 yrs of age),
for the Sacraments of Initiation:
Baptism (if not baptized), Confirmation & Holy Communion.

Registration is required to attend OCIC classes.

For children under the age of 7 who need to be baptized, please enroll your
child(ren) in Traditional RE classes with RE Office at (361)643-3548
and contact the Parish Office to plan your child’s Baptism (361)643-7533.

Starting the process
 does not require a commitment to become Catholic,
 it just opens the door....
