OCIA, Conversion, and What You Can Do

About this episode

The episode discusses the significance of OCIA in the Catholic Church and its implications for evangelization.

Are we having a Catholic revival? In this kickoff episode of the new season, Gomer and Dave return to unpack one of the most important, and often misunderstood, processes in the Catholic Church, OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation of Adults). They explore why OCIA matters not just for those entering the Church, but for every Catholic, and how it reveals the deeper mission of evangelization in today’s world. We want to hear from you!
