OCIA Companion

OCIA Companion is the all-in-one platform for Catholic parishes running an Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (formerly RCIA) program.

Whether you're a parish director coordinating a year-long formation, a candidate beginning your journey toward the Sacraments, or a sponsor walking alongside someone you love — OCIA Companion brings every part of the OCIA experience into one app, designed specifically for the rhythms of Catholic parish life.
