The team you’ll need

The assembly is your number one team member

But that’s not all. None of this would be much help to you if you had to do it all yourself. So I spend a lot of time going into the details of how to build a team. I give you examples of the kinds of team members you are going to need, which ones to recruit first, and the qualities to look for in potential team members. I also emphasize that the primary team member is the parish assembly. And I give you 100 practical examples of how to involve the parish in the catechumenate. In The Way of Faith, you will find these indispensable resources for your team:

• A step-by-step, week-by-week guide for starting the RCIA in your parish
• A clear explanation of catechesis, how to do it, and how to evaluate it (along with a 30-minute dismissal outline and a 90-minute extended catechesis outline)
• A detailed look at liturgical principles and a how-to guide for adapting the rituals for your particular catechumens
