ParishPath OCIA

ParishPath OCIA helps parish staff and OCIA teams spend less time managing processes and more time forming disciples. Built by a deacon and OCIA director for real parish life, ParishPath OCIA brings the whole journey into one place — from the first inquiry through the Sacrament of Baptism, the Sacrament of Confirmation, and the Sacrament of the Eucharist (First Communion) — so nothing falls through the cracks. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Online registration — inquirers sign up from your parish website or a link; staff see every new registration instantly • Participant records — track each person's sacramental history, sponsor, and status (unbaptized, baptized non-Catholic, baptized Catholic) • Attendance — record who was at each session, by date, in seconds • Sponsors & godparents — capture sponsor details and eligibility in one place • Schedule — publish your session calendar and rites for the year • Weekly Quiz — a short quiz on each week's topic so participants review what was taught and leaders see who's engaged • Messaging — email and text participants and leaders from inside the app • Leader Portal — catechists and team leaders see their own schedule, participants, and resource library • Safe Environment tracking for volunteers — see each volunteer's clearance status and expiration alongside their assignments, so no one serves without being current • Reports — attendance, readiness for the sacraments, and registration summaries ready for the pastor BUILT FOR THE PARISH OFFICE • Multi-parish ready — one sign-in, any number of parishes • Role-based access for pastors, directors, staff, and catechists • Works in English and Spanish • Data stays yours — export any time ParishPath OCIA is the OCIA product from ParishPath (parishpath.org), a suite of tools for parish operations.
