So you have a catechumenate rite coming up, and you might be wondering how to get your parishioners more engaged, more involved, and just plain excited about that rite! It’s definitely a challenge, but it’s one that you can handle if you pay attention to three things you need.
The key is to help your parishioners walk more closely with your seekers from the very beginning. And that’s what the Synod on Synodality was focused on: walking together on the road toward the reign of God.
In this short video, Diana talks about three themes from the synod that will help initiation ministers cultivate a desire, passion, and excitement for journeying with seekers in the celebration of the rites of the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults. The strategies are simple; but they will need all of us to shift our paradigm of the community’s role in the initiation of adults seeking Christ.
