What was known as RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) is now OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation for Adults). But what does this mean for those looking to join the church or for the faithful in the pews? (Hint: the faithful in the pews are an important component of OCIA.)

Diocese of Sioux City Director of Worship Father Andrew Galles and Director of Faith Formation Karmen Bower (also our co-host) explain what OCIA will mean for the diocese, as well as upcoming opportunities to learn more.

You can also watch the OCIA webinar here.
