Journey of Faith
Journey of Faith is Liguori Publications’ comprehensive OCIA (formerly RCIA) formation program, developed to accompany adults, teens, and children on their journey into the Catholic Church. Rooted in Scripture, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and Redemptorist pastoral tradition, the program offers a welcoming and engaging path to discovering the Catholic faith and living it in everyday life.
About This Course
Journey of Faith consists of 48 lessons organized into the four stages of the OCIA process: Inquiry, Catechumenate, Enlightenment, and Mystagogy. Through clear teaching, reflection, discussion, prayer, and practical application, participants explore the beliefs, sacraments, moral life, prayer, and mission of the Catholic Church while preparing for full initiation and lifelong discipleship.
