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
