ORDER OF CHRISTIAN INITIATI0N OF ADULTS
Are you or someone you know interested in learning more about the Catholic faith? Perhaps you are thinking about what it means to be called to the Catholic way of life. The Church has a process called the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (O.C.I.A.) whereby adults can learn and discern whether to become Catholic Christians. The process leads an unbaptized adult to his or her baptism, usually at the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday. If the adult has been baptized in another Christian tradition, then the process prepares the person to be received into the Catholic Church by making a profession of faith as a Catholic. The process also prepares the way for someone who was baptized in the Catholic Church to receive First Holy Communion and Confirmation.
We are planning to start the OCIA process/program in the Fall.
If you’d like to add your name to our list of candidates for OCIA, or to know more about the OCIA process, or just have questions, please contact John Cusolito, OCIA Director at jcusolito@ourladysaintpaul.org.

CORI AND PROTECTING GOD’S CHILDREN
All volunteers who minister in the Archdiocese must attend the Protecting God’s Children training and complete the Code of Conduct form. In addition, every year all current volunteers and new volunteers must complete a CORI Form. Our Lady of Hope has begun the process for CORI completion for all volunteers and forms are available at the exit of the Church and on the parish porch. Contact the parish office to verify your ID (driver's license or passport) once completed.
If you will be volunteering and have not yet attended a training, the Child Advocacy office has PGC trainings churches are facilitating at Virtusonline.org, – there you will find the schedule for adults to complete their PGC requirement with the Archdiocese of Boston.
If you register for a training, please let us know once completed and forward a copy of your completion certificate to the parish office.
