About OCIA Companion
OCIA Companion gives Catholic parishes a single home for running the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults — from inquiry through the Easter Vigil and into mystagogy. Built for directors. Loved by candidates. — WHAT YOU GET — • Roster — track every candidate's stage (inquiry, catechumenate, purification & enlightenment, mystagogy), invite sponsors, and see who's keeping up • Tasks & deadlines — assign readings, reflection prompts, and Confirmation saint submissions. Watch progress as candidates check things off • Polls — schedule meetings, gauge understanding, or take a quick vote on what your class wants to dig into next • Announcements — post once. Every candidate sees it, and gets a push notification • Discussions — threaded conversations on the week's material. Faith-formation finally feels like a community, not a Monday-night handout • Weekly content — plan and publish each week's session: readings, talking points, links to Scripture and CCC passages • Integrated Bible — full Scripture reader with chapter navigation, highlighting in five colors, personal notes, bookmarks, and one-tap Share to Discussion so candidates can bring a verse straight into class • Integrated Catechism — the full Catechism of the Catholic Church, searchable and shareable the same way • Liturgical calendar — Sundays, Holy Days of Obligation, saint feast days, and your own classroom sessions in one view. Your candidates always know what's coming • Push notifications — for announcements, discussion replies, and direct messages, with per-event toggles so no one feels spammed — FOR DIRECTORS — Stop juggling an email thread, a spreadsheet, a paper roster, and a Facebook group. OCIA Companion replaces all of it with one app every candidate already has on their phone. — FOR CANDIDATES — Everything you need to follow along, plus a private space to take notes on what struck you in Scripture or Catechism — without ever losing your spot. — ABOUT — OCIA Companion is published by Credoworks LLC. We build small, focused tools for Catholic parish life. Support: https://www.credoworks.net/applications/ocia-companion/support Privacy: https://www.credoworks.net/applications/ocia-companion/privacy
What’s new
Version 1.0.6 · Updated September 24, 2026
Ready for the new year of formation. • Stage names that match how you speak — Inquirer, Catechumen, Candidate, The Elect, Confirmandi, Neophyte. Directors set each person's stage right from the roster. • Sort discussions newest or oldest first. Pinned topics stay on top. • Links on weekly content — videos, readings and resources your director adds now appear on each week, right above the assignments. • Email confirmation works on any device. Sign up on your computer, confirm on your phone — it just works. • Clearer when something goes wrong. If we can't reach your classroom, you'll see a Try Again button instead of a blank screen. • Notifications stop when you sign out, and reconnect more reliably after a weak signal.
