Easter Vigil and the Order of Christian Initiation of Youth
The Order of Christian Initiation for Youth (OCIY) is designed for:
- Junior High and High School youth who are unbaptized
- Youth who are baptized in another faith, who seek full communion with the Catholic Church
- Youth who are baptized Catholic but have not celebrated the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist. (This is not First Communion preparation of catechized youth)
OCIY is helpful for:
- families who are participating in the OCI-Adults
- families who are returning to the Catholic Faith
- young people who are searching for faith in the Catholic Church
Junior and Senior High students are encouraged to begin formation toward full initiation by enrolling in the parish's Faith Formation classes:
♦EDGE for Jr. High youth
♦LIFE TEEN for High School youth
