Welcome! We are really looking forward to being with you for your upcoming gathering. In order to get the most out of this training, it will be really helpful for you to do a little bit of preparation.
First, make sure to bring a copy of the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults with you. We will be using this as our primary text for the event.
Note: The new translation for the United States is now available. If you do not yet have a copy of the new USA translation, please bring a copy of the old translation to work from since the principles and elements of the process that we will study together at the event are still the same, though the words will be different.
Second, there are four brief videos below. If you take a little time to watch each of these beforehand, you will get so much more out of our brief time together. These videos will give you a good grounding in some topics we’ll discuss further.
We’ll see you soon!
