Sacramental Preparation Programs
*Two years of formation classes required before a child can receive a sacrament
OCIA Order of Christian Initiation of Adults
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is a formation process for adults who wish to be baptized for the first time, for adults from other Christian traditions who wish to inquire about our Catholic way of life, and for those Catholics who seek to complete their Christian Initiation through the sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist. A community of inquirers forms each fall and each proceeds at his or her own pace to the Sacraments of Initiation. Sessions are held on Thursday evenings.
$150 per year. 2-year preparation-
This is not in addition to a class registration fee
Sponsors for Adult Initiation
If you are a Catholic who finds joy in your faith and are willing to accompany someone in the process of becoming a Catholic as a friend and companion on the journey, consider being an RCIA Sponsor. Training is provided.
Sacrament of Confirmation (9th-12th)
The Archdiocese of Atlanta requires that the Sacrament of Confirmation be received when the candidate is at least 16 years of age and in 10th Grade. Teens typically enroll in a six-month Confirmation Preparation program at least six months prior to receiving the sacrament. Teens must be registered in Life Teen or Edge and be active participants in faith formation for at least two years prior to their Confirmation year. (10th grade)
$150 – The price includes Catholic youth bible and a yearly retreat. No charge for confirmation sacrament
First Reconciliation & First Communion

$30 – Includes prayer book, 2 retreats. This fee is in addition
to the class registration fee and is paid during
2nd year preparation.
