OCIA Youth

Youth OCIA is a process for young people to grow in relationship with the Lord while preparing to become full members of the Catholic Church. It is designed for children 7 years old and above who are not yet Baptized, and for any young person (4th grade or above) who has not yet made their 1st Communion.

Families journey together on a bi-weekly basis to dive into the basic beliefs of the Catholic faith.  Students will be prepared for Baptism if needed, 1st Communion, Confirmation, and Reconciliation.

Please contact Amy Spessard amy.spessard@stjohn-frederick.org with any questions.

There are 2 options for OCIA classes either Sunday afternoon or Thursday evenings.  Your choice is a commitment for that group (day and time) for the year. Please consult the calendars before registering. All classes are parent and child classes.

Registration closes on August 30, 2026.
