The National Gathering on Christian Initiation® is a two-day conference for parish leaders, initiation ministers, and regional or diocesan trainers to explore the transformative power of the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA). Together, we will connect theological vision with practical skills through interactive sessions, engaging discussions, and prayerful reflection - discovering how the OCIA's vision of forming disciples is truly the vision of the parish as a vibrant, missionary community.
