RCIA/OCIA Journey
Resources for those on the path to becoming Catholic through the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA), now called the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA).
The Path to Catholic Faith
The RCIA/OCIA process is a journey of faith for those seeking to enter the Catholic Church. It involves several distinct phases, from initial inquiry through full reception into the Church at Easter Vigil, and continues with ongoing formation.
Our puzzles are designed to help catechumens (unbaptized) and candidates (baptized in another Christian tradition) learn the essential prayers, beliefs, and practices of the Catholic faith in an engaging and memorable way.
These resources complement formal RCIA/OCIA sessions and provide a way to reinforce learning through interactive engagement with key Catholic texts and concepts.
