The process of initiating new adult Catholics or helping baptized adult Catholics complete their initiation can be complex and confusing! This helpful chart outlines the process of initiation according to baptismal status for those seeking initiation in your parish. It identifies the important components of the Church’s vision for initiation according to the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA). Parenthetical references to paragraphs in the OCIA are provided. By using this chart, you will have at your hands a simple guide to the OCIA, a clear vision of who participates in the process, what rites take place and when, and how those seeking initiation are formed.
“Keeping track of who needs what, when, and in what order in the initiation process can be confusing for even seasoned volunteers, directors, and clergy. This accessible, easy-to-use guide—with references to help you make the connections to the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults—is a beautifully streamlined resource where you’ll find all the essential information needed by your Christian initiation team as you navigate the process with your catechumens and candidates.”

“This extremely useful pastoral resource offers clear insight into how the progression of initiating adults into the Catholic Church is realized within the community. Particularly helpful is the way that the chart spells out the particular entry points into the process of initiation, based on the inquirer's initiation journey thus far, and how each of the periods and preparation needs applies to each individual's case.”
