Q: When we have new folks that want to come into OCIA, we should be asking certain questions right? Do you know of a template to start those conversations?

A: I don’t have a resource to recommend. However, there should be plenty of ideas out there. You may try neighboring parishes to yours to get some samples.
I’m writing on book right now that throws a spotlight on our preparation for the baptized candidate, and I will have some specific questions in there for that first conversation. My book won’t be out for another year or so, and I haven’t prepared anything like it for the unbaptized.
