Here's a 50-minute webinar of Janet leading an overview of the great features of Friends on the Way with lots of Q & A from the participants on children's catechumenate issues.


A simple, concrete, comprehensive catechesis for child catechumens

Friends on the Way is designed for your child catechumens. This isn't an adaptation of something originally designed for adult RCIA or Catholic sacramental preparation. It has been written, from the ground up, for unbaptized catechumens.

Friends on the Way is comprehensive. The program includes a dismissal session and a catechetical session for every Sunday of the liturgical year. In the course of the year, children learn about the entire mystery of faith.

Friends on the Way is flexible. Each unit is designed so that you can proceed to the catechetical session immediately after the dismissal session on Sunday. Or you can facilitate the catechetical session sometime later in the week.

Friends on the Way is intergenerational. We all know that older, unbaptized children often have parents who might need a good deal of formation themselves. Every session of Friends on the Way includes an optional intergenerational activity to help the parents help their children grow in faith plus a take-home handout for families to use at home to help them pray, share faith, and live that faith in their household.

Friends on the Way is engaging. Author and designer Janet Miller has been teaching children for 45 years. She serves in the children's initiation ministry in her parish. And she has 10 grandchildren! She knows how to keep a child's interest.

Friends on the Way is easy to use. The sessions are clearly outlined and includes illustrations when necessary. You can put this in the hands of your children's RCIA catechists and have confidence they will succeed.

Friends on the Way is scriptural and liturgical. Every dismissal and catechetical session flows from the Sunday readings of the liturgical year.

Friends on the Way is linked to the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Every catechetical session includes a direct reference to the Catechism.

Friends on the Way is economical. Because it is sold as an e-resource, production costs are low. Sessions are sent to you as download links. You have them on your computer and may use them as needed year after year. You only pay for them once. And your purchase entitles you to make as many copies as you need for use within your own parish.

I checked out the resource, and I love it! This is an answer to prayer.

Description:
Every RCIA ritual has a "secret sauce." You can find it in the pastoral introduction to each individual rite. The introduction to the Acceptance into the Order of Catechumens, for example, provides a clear theology of the rite along with specific instructions for its celebration. The introduction describes the central symbols of the ritual and the roles of the various ministers. It also provides an overview of possible adaptations the rite allows for.

Yet, as helpful as this introduction is, many RCIA team members have never read it. Nick Wagner has written a 17-page reader's guide, in plain English, including discussion questions, to help you provide simple and effective training for your team. After going through this reader's guide together, your team will have a solid understanding of the theology of the rite and a clearer vision for celebrating it.

Has this happened to you? One day you discover that a child in the religious education program is unbaptized. Now what do you do?

Additional DescriptionMore Details

Your purchase allows you to use, reproduce, and distribute this download for free for each member of your initiation team.

Description:
Working with children in the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is challenging. We often encounter parents who want their unbaptized children to celebrate the sacraments of initiation with their peers. We have parish catechists who are unsure about their role in the catechumenate process. The catechetical leader or director of religious education often feels left out of the process. So what does a parish do?

Carolyn Stucke and Jane Pierron have written a helpful, practical e-booklet that will guide you through all of these questions and more. Their plain, common-sense solutions will help all the children’s ministers of the parish to be more confident in carrying out the church’s vision of initiation for children.
