OCIA stands for Order of Christian Initiation of Adults. It is the process by which baptized Christians and unbaptized persons can learn more and join the Catholic Church. Three opportunities for OCIA will be available this year in the St. Gaspar family of parishes starting in September:

Holy Trinity: Wednesdays at 11:45 am, starting September 3
St. Paul: Wednesday evenings at 7:00pm, starting September 3
Holy Trinity: Sundays at 12:00 noon, starting September 7

Each group will be using the “Foundations of Faith: A Journey through the Catechism of the Catholic Church” series from Ascension. Cost for the workbook and internet access to the videos is $40. Scholarships will be offered on an as-needed basis.
Join the Journey, Become a Sponsor
Persons from the parish are encouraged to become part of the lives of our initiates by becoming involved in OCIA. Why be a sponsor? Christ calls us to “go and make disciples of all nation.” Being an OCIA sponsor for someone on their journey to be fully initiated into the Church is a wonderful opportunity to answer Christ’s call. Additionally, walking with someone learning about the Catholic faith is a great way to grow in your own faith. Expectations of a Sponsor

Bringing Stephen Ministry to all of our Parishes!
Our six-parish family invites you to an Information Night to learn more about Stephen Ministry—a Christ-centered ministry that equips lay people to provide one-to-one care to those who are hurting. The evening will include a detailed explanation of the ministry and time to answer any questions you may have. You can also learn more about Stephen Ministry by visiting StephenMinistries.org.
This event is open to all parishioners from our six-parish family. To RSVP, please call St. Paul Parish at (937) 836-7535 by September 15th, or contact one of our Stephen Leaders directly:
Barb Franz — (937) 776-7375

Steve Lewis — (937) 654-5740
Stephen Ministry is a Christ-centered ministry where laypeople receive extensive training to walk with those going through life’s most difficult seasons—loss of a loved one, loneliness, depression, divorce, health challenges, and more. While Stephen Ministers are not professional counselors, they are compassionate listeners who provide confidential, one-on-one care grounded in faith.
This expansion will ensure that more individuals and families have access to a caring companion when they need it most.
