What's New in OCIA Companion
1.0.6
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.
