The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults at STA in 2025

This year we are blessed with having 10 adult candidates for Confirmation, 5 of whom will receive their First Holy Communion at the 10AM mass June 8, 2025, Pentecost Sunday.

Please pray for Sean Gang, Keisha Peters, Cassandra Bodendorf, Christine Castillo, Jordan Clark, Mia Clark, Pedro Gavilano, Frank Tamburino, and Alexander Zeno, who will complete their initiation into the Church at Pentecost.

Please pray also for Charles Peters who will initiated into the Catholic Church in the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Eucharist at the Easer Vigil mass Saturday evening April 19, 2025.

These candidates and catechumen will have spent 8 months preparing for the sacramental life in the Church participating in the OCIA. They have committed themselves to learning the faith and to enter in the life of the Church.

Each year St. Thomas the Apostle welcomes candidates and catechumens seeking full initiation into the sacramental life of the Church by the ministry of the OCIA. If you or someone you know is seeking a closer relationship by full initiation into the Church founded by Jesus Christ, please contact us at Ocia@stachurchbloomfield.org or contact Frank Miller at 201-207-0020.
