OCIA Companion

OCIA Companion gives Catholic parishes a single home for running the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults — from inquiry through the Easter Vigil and into mystagogy.

Built for directors. Loved by candidates.

— WHAT YOU GET —

• Roster — track every candidate's stage (inquiry, catechumenate, purification & enlightenment, mystagogy), invite sponsors, and see who's keeping up

• Tasks & deadlines — assign readings, reflection prompts, and Confirmation saint submissions. Watch progress as candidates check things off

• Polls — schedule meetings, gauge understanding, or take a quick vote on what your class wants to dig into next

• Announcements — post once. Every candidate sees it, and gets a push notification

• Discussions — threaded conversations on the week's material. Faith-formation finally feels like a community, not a Monday-night handout

• Weekly content — plan and publish each week's session: readings, talking points, links to Scripture and CCC passages

• Integrated Bible — full Scripture reader with chapter navigation, highlighting in five colors, personal notes, bookmarks, and one-tap Share to Discussion so candidates can bring a verse straight into class

• Integrated Catechism — the full Catechism of the Catholic Church, searchable and shareable the same way

• Liturgical calendar — Sundays, Holy Days of Obligation, saint feast days, and your own classroom sessions in one view. Your candidates always know what's coming

• Push notifications — for announcements, discussion replies, and direct messages, with per-event toggles so no one feels spammed

— FOR DIRECTORS —

Stop juggling an email thread, a spreadsheet, a paper roster, and a Facebook group. OCIA Companion replaces all of it with one app every candidate already has on their phone.

— FOR CANDIDATES —

Everything you need to follow along, plus a private space to take notes on what struck you in Scripture or Catechism — without ever losing your spot.
