OCIA at St. Augustine

Do you know someone who has thought about becoming Catholic or, for whatever reason, has been baptized but has not been confirmed or received Holy Communion? Please consider joining this year’s  OCIA Class  led and facilitated by  Deacon Nestor Fernandez and a team of knowledgeable catechists.

The OCIA program meets once a week  beginning in the Fall and concludes with the Easter Vigil where the students (candidates & catechumen) receive their sacrament(s). The class emphasizes prayer, discernment and spiritual formation as each candidate responds to their call to become followers of Jesus through the Catholic Church.

If you have any questions, know of someone who would like to discuss joining OCIA, are considering being a team member, or would just like to experience the OCIA process,    please contact Deacon Nestor before or after Mass, email him at DeaconNestor@comcast.net or call him directly at 415-672-5252.

To enroll in the OCIA Program, please stop by the Parish Office to obtain an enrollment form. Submit your completed enrollment form to Amor Baldomero or Patricia Abdelalim at the parish office. You can also register online by clicking on the button.

Please pray that the Holy Spirit calls your friends, family members and/or acquaintances to seek a deeper relationship with Almighty God through his Church.

• Has never been baptized.
• Has been baptized in another religion.
• Has been baptized in the Catholic faith but has never been confirmed in the Catholic faith.
