ARE YOU SOMEONE OR DO YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO…
We offer an opportunity to come together in a small group to learn more about our faith. Sessions focus on the teachings and experience of Church and prepare individuals to celebrate the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist during the Easter season. There are separate sessions for children or youth. You are welcome to participate in the process with your questions, your insights and your faith story in a warm accepting setting. For information please contact [NAME] at [PHONE, EMAIL]. |

NEW Live Training Workshop
Essentials for Building an Effective RCIA Team
Presenter: Nick Wagner
Description:
Establishing and nurturing an RCIA team can be a lot of work. The first thing to realize, however, is the primary “work” of the catechumenate is the ordinary life of the parish. That means your first and most essential “team member” is the parish community.
Join Nick Wagner for a 60-minute webinar on the essentials of building an effective RCIA team.
- Learn the four primary ways to involve the parish community
- Review the crucial skills of a team leader or coordinator
- Discover the primary roles you need to fill for well-rounded team
- Hear some tips for small or rural parishes who may have trouble finding team members
