The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults

UPDATE:  After unexpected delays, we finally received the book in our warehouse only to discover a defect in the printing. The book is missing the first eight pages, including the Table of Contents.  The printer has assumed full responsibility for the defect and the delays. They will also be reprinting the book so that we can send a free replacement to anyone who ordered and received a copy of this first printing.  The reprint will start to ship out by January 7, 2025. 

In the meantime, we decided to send the defective books to all our pre-orders and regular orders so that you can begin to review the text.  We’re also providing a link to view/download the missing pages here: OCIA Table of Contents.

The preorders for the English-Spanish bilingual edition will ship out on January 3, 2025.

The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults is produced with the same high-quality standards one has come to expect from MTF’s liturgical offerings – especially the Roman Missal, The Book of the Gospels, and The Order of Penance.  The quality of this worthy, dignified, and beautiful ritual edition helps convey the solemnity and dignity of the Order of Christian Initiation.
