OCIA program - If you are considering becoming Catholic, please join our OCIA (formerly RCIA) group. This is the process by which adults and children over the age of 7 are initiated into the Catholic Church in the sacraments of Baptism and/or Confirmation and First Holy Communion. St. Charles and St. Nicholas parishes offer OCIA classes together with independent study and two monthly in-person meetings (one held at St. Nicholas and one held at St. Charles). Classes begin October 14, 2025. For more information, please contact Doug Bruner via text/phone at 812-584-3283 or email at doug.bruner80@gmail.com
