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.

Joint RCIA Formation: Catechizing the catechized and uncatechized together (webinar recording)
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.
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
This webinar originally aired on May 23, 2012. The full video/audio recording includes a downloadable handout and recommended resources.

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:
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.

How was Come to the Table developed
Come to the Table is a ministry outreach of Bill Huebsch and PastoralPlanning.com, initiated to celebrate the Year of Faith with the universal Church. It is a direct response to the call of Pope Benedict XVI that the universal Church might prepare for and embrace a Year of Faith in 2012 and beyond.
Come to the Table draws its inspiration and spirit from the RCIA and is a parish process for adult faith formation. It is based on small-group
conversations about faith. Participants are led through various elements of Faith, Life & Creed,* a complete and systematic adult faith formation resource written by Mary Birmingham, which is rooted in Sacred Scripture and the Catechism of the Catholic Church. *Note: If you have already purchased the Faith, Life & Creed SuperBundle or Doctrinal Sessions Bundle, you already have all the components of Come to the Table.

Come to the Table: How We Became the People of God, with Leader Guide, 6-session Participant Guides, and 1 suplemental handout (PDF)
In this theme, we consider how the Second Vatican Council helped us realize that we are, indeed, the People of God. We are called to be holy—what does this mean? How are we the “people of God for the world”? How did the Council affect how we celebrate liturgy? How did the person of Blessed Pope John XXIII lead the Church in these vital years? And how do we now become the Body of Christ for all, living within a “domestic church”?
Includes a Leader Guide (PDF), Participant Guides (PDF), and one supplemental handout for six sessions:
- Called to Be Holy
- Becoming the People of God for the World
- Celebrating Together
- Charity above All
- Becoming the Body of Christ
- Living in the Domestic Church

Participants in Come to the Table:

What is Come to the Table?
Come to the Table is a parish process to welcome and re-engage youth, young adults, and adults with their faith, their friends and neighbors, and their parish. It provides a “gathering point” for folks—one which helps people have a real sense of belonging to your parish. Come to the Table is an easy-to-use resource for small group meetings, organized around seven major themes with 30 total topics. Parishes may set a curriculum for several years, or small groups may set their own course. Each session includes prayer, study, conversation, and decisions for specific actions.
How was Come to the Table developed
Come to the Table is a ministry outreach of Bill Huebsch and PastoralPlanning.com, initiated to celebrate the Year of Faith with the universal Church. It is a direct response to the call of Pope Benedict XVI that the universal Church might prepare for and embrace a Year of Faith in 2012 and beyond.
Come to the Table draws its inspiration and spirit from the RCIA and is a parish process for adult faith formation. It is based on small-group
conversations about faith. Participants are led through various elements of Faith, Life & Creed,* a complete and systematic adult faith formation resource written by Mary Birmingham, which is rooted in Sacred Scripture and the Catechism of the Catholic Church. *Note: If you have already purchased the Faith, Life & Creed SuperBundle or Doctrinal Sessions Bundle, you already have all the components of Come to the Table. But Come to the Table consolidates the most relevant material from Faith, Life & Creed for the Year of Faith and the Church’s new evangelization effort into easy-to-use, ready-to-print-or-email PDF handouts to give to your small-group leaders and participants.
