OCIA Study Guide

Posted by Erik O. on 13th Nov 2025

This book is valuable to people curious about OCIA or what a small part of OCIA looks like. This would help lay persons who lead OCIA for their parish and this takes a lot of the guess work out of some of the Rites and such for a better understanding about what a “Scrutiny” is and what priveleges you have as a “Cathemumenate” in the Catholic Church.
A lot of parishes starting out as a Quasi- parish or brand new as well as smaller parishes will find this helpful for everyone.
Plus this is 100% a couple years new from the Conference of Bishops. It comes with footnotes for documents it sources within the book as well which also is invaluable as a great reference after OCIA.
