RCIA FOR ADULTS

RCIA Resources

Resources to explain the RCIA program to parishioners, sponsors, and leaders, as well as a variety of materials to explain the Catholic faith to inquirers. With materials to help catechumens understand the Mass and to break open the Word.

Come and See – St. Anthony Messenger

A flexible, lectionary-based RCIA program with three components: group catechetical sessions, group Scripture-breaking, and at-home preparation. Each three-ring binder includes all the materials needed for all three experiences.

Foundations in Faith – RCL Benziger

An RCIA program that has both catechetical and lectionary components. With resources to help leaders blend instruction and faith formation throughout all stages of the catechumenate.

In His Light – Harcourt

Journey of Faith for Adults – Liguori

New Catholic Vision – RCL Benziger

Thirty-one 4-page handouts by Mark Link that can be used in any order or correlated with the Sunday readings. The handouts are in color and quote extensively from the Catechism. Topics include the creed, the Bible, sacraments and morality. Can be used as the catechetical component of any RCIA program.

On the Journey – Liturgy Training Publications

An RCIA program developed by the Association of Catechumenal Ministry: a team of RCIA directors, catechists, clergy and theologians. 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.

Making Disciples – Our Sunday Visitor
