RCIA Resources - Part III

Below are various Web sites containing useful information and resources on RCIA:

Office of the Catechumenate—RCIA

This website is to provide information for catechists, RCIA Coordinators, priests, pastors, musicians and those who desire to be part of the Catholic Faith.

Catholic Classes

Catholic Classes is an exploration of our relationship with God, our language, and our community. It is meant to be a dialogue, not a lecture. It is focused in two areas of parish life - the Catechumenate and adult continuing education. It is produced by a team of lay people using scripture, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Catholic liturgical prayer, music, references for in-depth reading, and questions for discussion.

• Catechumenate podcast series
• Catholic Kids video podcast series
• PACE podcast series
• Liturgy of the hours podcast series

A New Look at the RCIA: Journey for the Entire Parish - An article by Rita Burns Senseman in Catholic Update May©2002

Not long ago our U.S. bishops took a closer look at how well the RCIA is working in our local parishes. The results of the bishops’ study on the RCIA were published in October 2000 in a report entitled Journey to the Fullness of Life. The bishops found that in some parishes the RCIA is working very well, yet in other parishes it doesn’t even exist. Nonetheless, the bishops say that the RCIA is “renewing the life of the Church in the United States” and that it must continue to be a priority in our parishes.
