On the Journey — Association for Catechumenal Ministry

An RCIA program developed by the Association of Catechumenal Ministry: a team of RCIA directors, catechists, clergy and theologians. The Participant Manual, 2nd Edition is a flash drive that includes 380 handouts in printable form. It also includes a booklet containing any information from the 1st Edition that was not included on the drive. The reproducible materials make this a flexible program, designed for systematic and organic catechesis. Choose what you want to present and when you want to present it, as your candidates are ready. The Catechist Manual explains all you need to know to present the catechetical portion of the RCIA. It begins with a helpful introduction to the four periods of RCIA, explaining how to use the lesson plans and decide the order of the lessons. The manual includes 60 doctrinal lesson plans, each with music suggestions, Liturgy of the Word, discussion questions and more. The manual includes a free copy of the RCIA Overview Chart. The Leader Manual is a comprehensive resource for implementing the full liturgical, catechetical and pastoral aspects of the RCIA process. The RCIA Godparent and Sponsor Handbook is a practical guide for those serving as sponsors or godparents in the RCIA process. (©2005-07)
