We all agree that the community needs to be involved in the RCIA.
So we make bulletin and Mass announcements explaining the rites and
the RCIA process, hoping the parishioners will "get" their
responsibility to initiate these seekers. Then, although
catechumens, candidates, sponsors, and team members form a
tight-knit community, parishioners still wonder who these people
are with their rituals that make the Mass long and most of the
newly initiated still disappear from the parish after Easter.
Taking to heart what the United States bishops said in their
document on adult faith formation-"While the parish may have an
adult faith formation program, it is no less true that the parish
is an adult faith formation program" -Diana Macalintal argues that
we have to stop trying to get the parish involved in the RCIA and
start getting the catechumens and candidates involved in the
parish. In this book, readers will discover:1. why doing the RCIA
in the midst of the community not only forms seekers into disciples
but renews the conversion of the entire parish; 2. what
parishioners can do to take responsibility for the initiation of
adults, without adding another meeting to their lives; 3. how to
use the four key areas of parish life and the liturgical year to
introduce seekers to Christ and train them in the Christian way of
life; 4. the three levels of catechesis and how to use mystagogical
reflection on parish life to provide a systematic and complete
catechesis appropriate for each level. When you make your parish
the RCIA curriculum, you will be shaping not just a group of people
but an entire community into lifelong disciples.
