RCIA Coordinator
After the Rites of Acceptance/Welcome for
children and youth, RCIA session continue in the Catechumenate period.
Sessions begin with a reading or two from Scripture, which is then related
to our daily lives. Following that, a topic is pulled from the readings. We
will cover the Sacraments, Moral Decision Making,
Justice, Life Issues and other topics. All sessions are taught on a level
that children or youth can understand. The sessions in the
Catechumenate are surrounded in prayer. During this time, we will present
the Creed. There will be dismissal of the children from Mass whenever Rites
are celebrated. Dismissal during the Eucharistic prayer is done with a
catechist in a separate space. At that time, there is reflection on the
Rites celebrated and study of the Scriptures proclaimed. Dismissal is always
done in the context of prayer. Please keep the children/youth in your
prayers. |
