Year-Round Catechumenate

In this innovative book, Mary Birmingham encourages readers to rethink the common model of a Christian initiation program based on the school year. Since the [bold]process of initiation exists at the heart of the church’s life[/bold], she argues that it should be on the same schedule as the church: every day, all year long. Guiding readers step-by-step through the periods and rites of the RCIA, Birmingham offers pastors, initiation teams, and liturgy committees all the resources needed to imagine, understand, and implement a year-round catechumenate.
