New Translations of the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA)/ Ritual de la Iniciación Cristiana de Adultos (RICA)
-
The USCCB confirmed a new translation of the ritual books Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) and Ritual de la Iniciacion Cristiana de Adultos (RICA). The revised English translation follows the principles of the 2001 Liturgiam authenticam, while the Spanish text is similar to the 1990 US Spanish edition, with the correction of several errors and inconsistencies.
The new editions do not substantially alter the liturgical practices to be followed when preparing and initiating new Catholics, but they offer helpful clarifications and newly composed sample introductions for the rites.
The new translations may be used as of the First Sunday of Advent, December 1, 2024, and obligatory use is set for Ash Wednesday, March 5, 2025.
