Don’t wait until the last minute!
There’s an easier way for your diocese to get ready
for the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults
Prepare every catechumenate team in your diocese
Get all your catechumenate teams up to speed quickly. Help them know what is—and what isn’t—changing when the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults is published. And do it all whenever and wherever they want!
Help them discover the core vision of the rite
Your catechumenate teams will come away with a deeper understanding of the church’s vision for parishes as centers of evangelization and initiation. And you can give them a comprehensive study of that vision that they can learn and review as many times as they desire.
Show them how to refocus on conversion
Learning about the new translation is the perfect opportunity to help your catechumenate teams see how the progressive nature of the rites leads their seekers and parishioners into deep encounters with Jesus Christ.
Recommit your diocese to making lifelong disciples now
Once they understand how to discern the readiness of their seekers for lifelong discipleship, your catechumenate teams will no longer be frustrated with neophytes leaving soon after initiation. And you don’t have to wait to make that happen!
