Journey Faith OF

The process by which adults are initiated into the Catholic faith throughout the United States is now called the OCIA—the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults. “Order” is a clearer translation of the Latin term for the process formerly known as the RCIA—the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. People preparing for baptism and reception into the Church celebrate several rites as part of the order to which those rites belong— an order whose mission is to journey in the faith. The US Conference of Catholic Bishops adopted the name change in 2021, with American dioceses introducing the name thereafter. For more information, please contact your local diocese.

Jornada Fe de

Journey Faith OF

Written in the engaging, pastoral style of the Redemptorists, Journey of Faith and Jornada de Fe speak clearly to audiences in their voice— adults, teens, children, and Hispanics.

The flexible format of the nested lessons enable you to teach the lessons in the order you want. The comprehensive Leader Guide gives you everything you need to walk into your OCIA (RCIA) class and start leading, whether you’re a veteran OCIA (RCIA)/RICA instructor or a first-time volunteer.

Covering each of the periods of Christian initiation, Journey of Faith and Jornada de Fe begin with the concept of faith in the Catholic Church and explore many topics in their 48 lessons.

Inquiry (Preguntas) The lessons in Journey of Faith, Inquiry begin with the concept of faith in the Catholic Church and continue the exploration into many topics that will be discussed further throughout the program. Some of the concepts include the Trinity, Jesus as fully human and fully divine, an introduction to the Bible, prayer life, the Mass, Church leadership, Mary, and the saints.

Enlightenment (Discernimiento) Journey of Faith, Enlightenment takes candidates through a period of self-reflection and preparation for the sacraments. They learn about God’s mercy and forgiveness through an introduction to the scrutinies and are encouraged to participate in the Lenten practices of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. They also participate in a group Lenten retreat, an opportunity for them to spend some quiet time with themselves and God before becoming fully initiated into the Church.

Journey Faith OF

OCIA (RCIA) FOR CHILDREN

Journey of Faith for Children and Jornada de Fe para Niños provide a solid catechetical foundation by introducing children to the Catholic faith in a way that will start them on a lifelong journey of knowing and loving Jesus.

Children learn at their own pace. They learn by asking questions and by doing. That’s why we’ve combined the lessons with a variety of engaging activities in a way that’s flexible enough for you to modify to your unique needs.

Each lesson features a colorful animated drawing and ongoing story that captures children’s attention and enables them to see their own faith journey mirrored in the adventures of “Mrs. Evans’” fictional OCIA (RCIA) class.

“This Is My Body”

For Real?

Christ’s Presence in the Eucharist

DEACON DENNIS LAMBERT

The teaching of Christ’s Real Presence in the Eucharist began with Jesus sharing with his apostles, followed by their education of early Church leaders, which extends to our priests and the Church of today. Throughout all of this time the baton never drops. The teaching has never changed from the original presentation of Jesus himself to the apostles gathered with him for the Last Supper.

A cradle Catholic and former skeptic himself, Deacon Dennis Lambert presents evidence to radically change, affirm, or deepen your belief in the real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. The book also provides a thought-provoking way to share the truth with others.
