Journey to becoming Catholic
THe Journey to becoming Catholic
The OCIA is the modern form of the "catechumenate" (Greek for “instruction”) of the early days of the Church. Becoming Christian in the early centuries involved a sharp break with the surrounding culture. New Christians entered into a way of living which demanded deep commitment and often risk to their lives. In the modern world, our faith also demands deep commitment as our beliefs often conflict with those of our society. New believers need thorough preparation as well as caring support as they enter into a relationship with Jesus, the mysteries of His Church and the commitment of Christian living.
Inquiry Phase
This is the earliest phase in the process; it is also known as the Pre-Catechumenate. Participants explore basic questions of faith and become familiar with Catholic resources before continuing to the next stage. This is a chance to get one's feet wet before diving in deep.
