Apprenticed to Christ: Activities for Practicing the Catholic Way of Life

Apprenticed to Christ: Activities for Practicing the Catholic Way of Life

 
 

Inspired by the principle that one learns how to be a Christian by doing what Christians do, Apprenticed to Christ provides catechists with ideas and resources for the "apprenticeship" of catechumens, candidates, and others participating in parish religious formation.

Description:
This hands-on method, the Church's preferred approach for the catechumenate, is presented in a systematic, easy-to-use format based on the Liturgy of the Word for Sunday Mass, with activities suggested for each Sunday of the three-year cycle of readings. Recommended catechetical resources including the Catechism of the Catholic Church, conciliar documents, papal encyclicals, liturgical documents, and more help to link each suggested activity with the teaching of the Catholic Church.

A fresh and fruitful approach for those who work with catechumens, candidates, confirmation preparation, and both youth and adult religious formation.

Date: May 23, 2012. Join Diana Macalintal and Nick Wagner for this webinar where we explore how to prepare a catechetical session that will meet the needs of the diverse people we meet in the RCIA.

Additional DescriptionMore Details

Description:
It’s the third Wednesday of the month, and that means it’s your turn to lead the catechumenate session. Your group includes, at one end of the spectrum, an unbaptized single mother who has trouble understanding “this whole three-persons-in-one-God” thing.

At the other end is a Baptist former seminarian who is preparing to marry a faithful Catholic woman. He has been at Sunday Mass—and often weekday Mass—every week for the last two years. He is also good friends with the pastor, and they frequently discuss articles from America magazine together.
And then there are several folks between those two extremes. How can you possibly prepare a catechetical session that will meet the needs of these diverse people?

That’s exactly the question we’ll tackle in Joint RCIA formation: Catechizing the catechized and uncatechized together—our next TeamRCIA webinar. Join Nick Wagner and Diana Macalintal for an in-depth look at these topics:

  • Why it is crucial to distinguish between the catechized and uncatechized in faith formation
  • What the RCIA means, exactly, by “catechized,” “uncatechized,” and how you can discern the difference
  • A thorough overview of how to catechize both the catechized and the uncatechized—even if your team is small
  • The “so what?”—a discussion about the benefits to your initiation process if you clarify your catechetical focus

Don’t miss this important team training event. Invite your colleagues and friends.

What you'll need for the Webinar:
All you need is a computer connected to the Internet and speakers or headphones to hear the presentation. That's it! You will be able to ask questions by typing them using your computer.

Optional: If you would like to speak to the presenter during the Webinar, you will need a microphone connected to your computer or you can call in to the telephone number which will be provided. Note: Registration fee does not include any long distance charges incurred if the participant chooses to use the telephone option during the Webinar.

Description:
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults requires several steps of discernment, as those contemplating a major step attempt to discover what direction to take. Beneath the public ritual of turning to God, candidates wrestle with personal questions, asking themselves: Is God truly calling me? How can I be sure? Am I called to join this community? Which past behaviors have given me life and which were destructive? How can I let go and be open to God's love?

This book serves to improve the listening skills of guides and helps them ask the right questions at the right time. The appendix contains specific suggestions for interviews during the four stages of the catechumenate and offers a format for a discernment day before the Rite of Election.

Description:
From an Amazon.com review: Rose Mary Dougherty has been teaching people ways to live in greater intimacy with God for many years at the Shalem Institute and in retreats and workshops around the United States. Now in her 60s, she has distilled her learnings from a lifetime of givenness to the Divine and rendered them with extraordinary clarity, brevity, and accessibility. The book's real content is in the subtitle: A Path to Spiritual Awakening. Whether you're brand-new to the spiritual life or someone who has walked many miles on the spiritual journey, there are nuggests of wisdom here for you. The practices and counsels Rose Mary offers are many, varied, and easily understood. There is no easy answer here, but there are valuable paths for the serious and committed seeker to explore. And the price is very affordable as well! Truly a "must" read for the serious seeker.

Description:
This collection of reflections is designed for those who have been baptized or received into the Catholic Church at Easter. Taking its cue from the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, this book will truly enable new Catholics to deepen their grasp of the paschal mystery. The book draws on the Church s ancient model of mystagogy by helping the reader to reflect deeply on the celebration of the sacraments of initiation. You'll find reflections for each day of the Easter Octave as well as for all the Sundays of the Easter season, the Ascension of the Lord, and Pentecost. Author Dennis Chriszt, C.PP.S., employs a wealth of scripture to facilitate a conversation between the sacred word of God and the lived experience of the new Catholic. The complete texts of the scriptures used for the reflections appear in this book, making it a stand-alone resource for personal prayer. The Fifty Days of Joy is also a helpful resource for initiation ministers who facilitate group sessions during the period of mystagogy. The front of the book has an area in which to inscribe the name of the new Catholic, the parish, and the date of initiation. An ideal gift for all those initiated at Easter! Dennis Chriszt, C.PP.S., is a priest with the Missionaries of the Precious Blood. He directs Precious Blood Parish Missions, the special formation program of his community, preaches parish missions and retreats, and conducts workshops on the Christian Initiation of Adults.
