The Office of Worship, in collaboration with the Office for Clergy offers this essential formation focused on the new texts of the OCIA with internationally recognized pastoral theologian Fr. Paul Turner.

Most people familiar with the process of Christian initiation know it as the RCIA, and many have heard that the acronym is changing by one letter. The revised English translation of this liturgical book includes several enhancements that will help priests, deacons, and all pastoral leaders who help new members join the Church.

This workshop will explore what is new, while reacquainting participants with key areas of one of the most remarkable books in the liturgical reform and in the work of evangelization. This will be vital to your work with parish liturgy coordinators, adult faith formation leaders, music ministers, and parish leaders who prepare the OCIA rites and lead the process of adult and family initiation in parishes.
