My Catholic Life! RCIA

My Catholic Life!

Not everyone wants another video. My Catholic Life! offers a free online RCIA program in plain text, promising the Catechism in 24 easy-to-read lessons. The lessons are also available through a web app at myRCIA.org.

The lessons follow the main areas of the Catechism: God and revelation, Jesus, the Church, the sacraments, the moral life and prayer. They're written in plain language, with references to the Catechism for anyone who wants to look things up. Each lesson is short enough for one sitting, so you can work through the course at a steady pace over the months of OCIA. Reddit users have recommended it for exactly that kind of quiet, self-paced study.

It suits inquirers who prefer reading to watching, people who want to study at their own pace, and those short on bandwidth or time. Use it as a companion to your parish OCIA process, not a substitute. No headphones required.

Key Takeaways

  • The Catechism in 24 readable lessons.
  • Plain-language explanations with Catechism references.
  • A text format for people who prefer reading.
  • A steady pace across the OCIA months.
