OCIA Workshop Series:

Entering the Catechumenate-Beginning the Journey

Presenter: Rose Hernandez

Monday, November 18, 2024

9 AM- 12 PM

Diocesan Pastoral Center

Cost: $10.00

At the “start of the year”, we prepare for a schedule of classes, preparing our inquirers to enter the catechumenate. This workshop will focus on how to begin with the Precatechumenate stage that leads us directly to the Catechumenate. We will explore not only how to work with Catechumens, but with candidates as well.  How can we set up our process to be inclusive, and our Rites of Entrance to the Catechumenate and Rite of Welcome be embraced by the assembly. We will also look at the minor rites and how they can be incorporated meaningfully.
