OCIA Goal: Teaching verses Initiation-
The OCIA initiation process is not about teaching the facts –
It is about becoming part of the community.
Expect something to happen and celebrate it in ritual.
Immerse the children/families in the community -
not teach them about a sacrament.

OCIA adapted for children (sometimes referred to as OCIC or children’s catechumenate) is the process for Unbaptized Children: Ages 7+ to enter the church and fully initiated (baptism, confirmation and Eucharist). The process for children typically takes two years. The OCIC classes are held on Sundays and are conducted family style – at least one parent must accompany the child(ren) at the classes.

OCIA consists of four periods
- #1 Precatechumenate,
- #2 Period of Catechumenate
- #3 Purification and Enlightenment
- #4 Mystagogia
#1: PERIOD OF PRECATECHUMENATE
YEAR ONE

Inquiry ( Inquirers) Begin with Inquiry Process
Asking questions about the church, mass, things that they’ve seen people doing, rosary, etc. Can last anywhere from 3 months to 1 year. Inquiry process will include both parents and children. Separate children from parents for questions. Begin to teach the parents how to answer the questions of their children.
