OCIA/RCIA Resources to help you launch your Neophytes into a lifetime of active parish involvement!
You’ve spent months passing on to them the teachings of the Catholic Church, its faith, its values, and its practices. Now your Neophytes are alive in the faith and eager to learn more. Your Mystagogy classes are your last chance to send them forth into a lifetime of self-motivated, on-going faith formation. Our hand-outs are designed to help you succeed at this.
Licenses on this page: Our OCIA/RCIA resources for the Mystagogy Period may be used indefinitely without the need to renew your distribution license, as long as you continue to use them only in one parish.
Beth Solis, a group facilitator in Oklahoma, says, "Our members asked us in the beginning if we minded taking things slowly so we could have time to really discuss each paragraph. We always have such great discussion! The PPT has been very helpful and is a nice addition."
