Order of Christian Initiation (OCIA)

Want to Become Catholic?

The Order of Christian Initiation is a faith conversion process through which both non-baptized adults and those baptized in other faiths become Catholic.

For more information on continuing your spiritual journey, please contact the parish office at (219) 932-0702 or email the rectory (addressed to Deacon Dedelow) at saintjosephhammond@comcast.net.

 If you are a practicing member of the Saint Joseph parish community and have interest in becoming part of the OCIA Team as a sponsor, catechist, or hospitality minister, please contact Deacon Dedelow in person or through the parish office.
