RCIA Software for Parishes (Now Called OCIA)
Looking for RCIA software? The Church now uses OCIA. Our Parish Voice is RCIA/OCIA management software for Catholic parishes — inquiries, formation, readiness, and rites.
Why people still search for RCIA software
For decades, parish teams ran the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults under the name RCIA. Many coordinators, DREs, and pastors still type “RCIA software” when they need a better way to track candidates, attendance, and paperwork.
The Church’s current terminology is OCIA — Order of Christian Initiation of Adults. The pastoral work is the same. The tools should be too.
Is Our Parish Voice RCIA software?
Yes. Our Parish Voice is built for parish initiation ministries whether you still say RCIA or have moved to OCIA. It covers the unbaptized path and baptized candidates preparing for full communion — with team workflows and a candidate-facing portal.
