Christian Initiation Quick Start
Beginning the Journey
The Pre-catechumenate, also called the Inquiry phase, is a time to explore the Catholic faith, ask questions, and begin encountering Jesus Christ. There is no pressure to have everything figured out or to make an immediate commitment. This stage is about listening, learning, praying, and discovering how God may be working in your life.
The following resources can help you begin this journey:
-
The Search on FORMED explores life’s deepest questions and the desire for God.
-
The Gospel of Mark introduces you to the life, teachings, miracles, death, and Resurrection of Jesus.
-
The Amen App helps you develop a habit of prayer through the Daily Mass Readings and reflections.
-
The My Parish Classic App provides a in your hands resource to Mass Readings, Prayers and Parish Bulletin
-
The Ascension Bible App give your access to the full bible and catechism with audio.
-
The Chosen provides a visual introduction to the people, culture, and events surrounding the Gospel story and is best used alongside Scripture.
These activities are not meant to replace personal conversation or participation in the parish. They are simple ways to begin seeking, reflecting, and preparing to take the next step in the OCIA journey.
