Ministry OCIA Program

Psalm 95:7 - Today, listen to the voice of the LORD! 

Saint Leo University Ministry is here to walk with you on your journey with Christ and His Church! Whether you’re interested in becoming Catholic—through Baptism, Eucharist, or Confirmation—or simply have questions about the faith, we’re here to support you.

The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) - formerly known as RCIA - is a spiritual journey where participants explore the Catholic faith while discerning their call to become Catholic or deepen their existing faith. Together, we’ll learn about, discuss, and pray through key aspects of Catholicism: its doctrines, history, sacraments, prayers, practices, and rituals.

The program runs annually during the Spring Semester, beginning in mid-January and culminating at Easter. Sessions meet every Wednesday from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. in the Ministry Suite located in the Wellness Center on main campus. OCIA is open to the baptized and unbaptized, the devout, and the curious, including college students and adult members of the Saint Leo community aged 18 and older.

If you feel called to explore the Catholic faith or take the next step in your spiritual journey, we invite you to join us! Connect with a member of our Ministry team to learn more.
