It’s time to rethink the way we do the RCIA in our communities
The way you teach and form your catechumens and candidates can determine whether they simply become name-only Catholics or lifelong disciples.
We all agree that the community needs to be involved in the RCIA. But how do we go beyond bulletin announcements and explaining the RCIA to the assembly? The key is to stop trying to get the parish involved in the RCIA and start getting the catechumens and candidates involved in the parish.
When you get out of the classroom mentality and begin teaching the RCIA in the midst of the community, you will be shaping not just a group of people but an entire parish into lifelong disciples.
Who is this course for?
You need to be in this course if:
- You want to get the entire parish on fire and involved in the RCIA process from beginning to end
- You want to help all the baptized evangelize and become examples of discipleship for your catechumens
- You want to learn an effective and simple method for teaching catechumens that connects the Catholic way of life to the dogmas and precepts of the church and inspires them to be witnesses to Christ in their daily lives
- You want to implement a comprehensive, systematic, year-round, and complete catechesis for your catechumens and candidates…without overwhelming them or burning out you or your team
- You want to honor the specific needs of each person and the abundant gifts the Holy Spirit gives to each of your parishioners
- You want to get seekers started in formation no matter what time of year they show up at your door
- You want your catechumens and candidates to become not name-only Catholics but lifelong disciples
Learn these practical, do-able strategies to get your entire parish involved. You will find that you’ll have more time, energy, joy, and confidence when you help transform your entire parish into a community of lively faith in Jesus Christ.
