Part 1: Understanding the Periods, Rites, and Vision of the OCIA

Presented by Kelsey B. Pena and Michael Ruzicki

Price: $50.00

In this Digital Institute, participants will explore the four stages of initiation and the rituals that accompany them. Additionally, participants will break open six principles of initiation ministry, share practical ways they are realized in a parish, and reframe our obstacles and struggles as opportunities for growth, learning, and success. This institute will lay the foundation for Christian initiation ministry and is essential learning for anyone serving as a coordinator in a pastoral leadership role.

The registration deadline for this workshop is August 8, 2025.
