The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults/Children (OCIA/OCIC)

The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) and Order of Christian Initiation of Children (OCIC) Team provides systematic religious education for non-Catholics wanting to join the Church, Catholics wanting to complete the Sacraments of Initiation, Catholics wanting to refresh themselves on the teachings of the Church, and older children preparing for sacraments.

The USCCB (United States Conference of Catholic Bishops) changed the name of RCIA/RCIC to OCIA/OCIA because the new translation is more comprehensive then RCIA is; O stands for Order instead of R for rite and reflects a closer transalation of the process of those who are initiated into the Catholic Faith.
