Orientation Sessions for New OCIA Coordinators and Volunteers
A 3-part Digital Institute of Initiation Ministry Coordinators
Skills for Effective Ministry and Administration
In addition to planning catechumenal formation and preparing ritual celebrations, there are many other responsibilities associated with the role of Christian initiation ministry coordinator. Rooted in a collaborative vision of ministry, this training will offer practical tools for attending to the many facets of this role and provide practical advice for turning obstacles into opportunities.
The presenters will tackle team creation and formation, discernment, marriage and annulment issues, paperwork, collaboration with clergy, and more. Whether you recently volunteered for, inherited, or were convinced to assume this important role, the presenters will provide you with support and answer your questions. A basic understanding of the OCIA ritual text is a prerequisite for attending this series.
Our Digital Institute will take place via Zoom. Registered participants will receive a link to the meeting room and access to the recorded sessions.
