Children of catechetical age (ages seven and older) who have not been baptized prepare for the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist) in an adapted Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA). Our parish often refers to this as Christian Initiation for Children and Teens (CIC/CIT). 

Children participate in Religious Education classes for at least one full year prior to preparing for the Sacraments of Initiation. For more information, contact the Religious Education Office at 301- 258-9193.
