SPIRITUAL LIFE
ORDER OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION FOR ADULTS
Again Jesus began to teach by the lake. The crowd that gathered around him was so large that he got into a boat and sat in it out on the lake, while all the people were along the shore at the water’s edge. –Mark 4:1
What is OCIA?
OCIA prepares unbaptized adults for the sacraments of initiation: Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist, and to be in full communion with the Catholic Church.
OCIA is also for adults who have already been baptized but have not completed their sacraments of initiation.
Anyone interested in OCIA is welcome to contact the Transfiguration School of Religion at 847.526.6400.

Parishioners… prayerfully consider becoming part of the RCIA Team as a sponsor, catechist, or to assist with hospitality. We meet to Catechize candidates and offer support through sponsors. Call or text Vicki Peloquin, 847.997.7350 if you are interested.
“This ministry enlightens my life because I enjoy sharing the love of Jesus with others and watching people grow in faith is awesome! The best moment was watching a young woman that I sponsored receive her Confirmation and Eucharist on Holy Saturday. We both wept with joy!”
RCIA sessions are conducted on Sundays beginning with 10 am Mass. Dismissal takes place after the Prayers of the Faithful. Formation then takes place in the Parish Office Meeting Rooms. Any interested person is welcome to join for those sessions. Watch the bulletin for scheduled topics.
