Colleges across the United States, both Catholic and secular, are reporting substantial growth in their OCIA programmes, according to a new report from the prayer app Hallow.

Hallow surveyed approximately 60 colleges and universities of various sizes and locations throughout the United States, including Catholic schools.

Of the schools that reported their OCIA data to Hallow, participation more than doubled in 2025-26 compared with the previous academic year. On average, the schools reported a 115 per cent growth in OCIA participation.
