Parish Resources for OCIA

The Association for Catechumenal Ministry
The Association for Catechumenal Ministry seeks to foster the full implementation of the Order of Christian Initiation by providing a communications, resources, and education network for diocesan and parish personnel involved in the work of the catechumenate.

Team RCIA
Team RCIA provides accessible and relevant resources through articles and conversations initiated by four national leaders in the United States church, who have been serving in RCIA ministry for more than two decades. They offer a variety of online and in-person training for church ministers and volunteers led by experts in the field of initiation ministry. They make the best printed resources available to RCIA ministers and pastoral leaders and publish original material that helps ministers serve the mission of the church.

Credo
Saint Benedict Press partnered with The Dominican Friars and the Thomistic Institute in Washington, D.C. to develop Credo, a groundbreaking RCIA video program that carefully teaches catechumens the key tenets of the Faith. The accompanying guide book walks candidates through the course, introduces them to the treasures of the Catholic faith, and is a valuable reference during their formation and beyond.

Catholicism Series - Word on Fire
The CATHOLICISM Study Program presents the strong, ecclesial dimension of the Catholic Faith – God’s revelation through Jesus Christ and His Church. It is comprehensive and faithful, appropriate for RCIA as well as other adult faith formation.


  My Catholic Life
The My Catholic Life! Series was written as a complete summary of our glorious Catholic faith. The goal of this series is to answer the difficult and deep questions of life in a personal, clear and understandable way by faithfully summarizing the entire Catechism of the Catholic Church.

USCCB Adult Catechism
Each chapter in the United States Catholic Catechism for Adults includes stories, doctrine, reflections, quotations, discussion questions, and prayers to lead the reader to a deepening faith. The United States Catholic Catechism for Adults is an excellent resource for preparation of catechumens in the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults and for ongoing catechesis of adults.
