Welcome to OCIA Deep Dive – podcast examining the OCIA rites through Scripture. Your hosts are Karmen Bower, director of faith formation for the Catholic Diocese of Sioux City, and Father Andrew Galles, director of worship for the Diocese of Sioux City. Our hosts will guide your as we enter into the heart of the texts of OCIA – Order of Christian Initiation for Adults. With each episode we will dive into the four stages of OCIA, including prayer, Scripture and reflections on the rites. Thank you for joining us for today’s OCIA Deep Dive - whether you work in faith formation, want to join the Catholic Church or just want to learn more about our role in Christian Initiation.
