Host a Training Event
With this new translation of the ritual text, we have a great opportunity! This is the perfect time to rededicate ourselves to the Church's vision for initiation ministry by providing ongoing formation for parish leaders and initiation ministers. We are here to help plan a formation event (in English or Spanish) in your diocese. Some of our most popular training events include: An Introduction to the OCIA: Vision and Ministry; The OCIA Adapted for Children; and Implementing the Year-Round Catechumenate.
If you are interested in hosting a workshop, contact Michael Ruzicki, LTP's training and events manager, at training@ltp.org or by calling 773-579-4900 ext. 3531.
