Catholic OCIA Portal

The Catholic OCIA Class Portal is currently a work in progress, so please ignore the dust as they say.

This platform is designed to modernize parish initiation by giving DREs a powerful management engine and candidates a complete, mobile friendly companion for their spiritual journey and I am committed to providing it 100% free of charge to parishes. The intent of this portal is not to replace the in person classes, but to enhance the candidates and catechumens experience.

Check out the videos below to see where I am in the development and please consider a donation or small month subscription to all this work to continue.

Check out the latest videos of where I am in the progress.
