Catechumenate

The Period of the Catechumenate is a time of indeterminate duration "for nurturing the growth of the catechumens' faith and conversion to God…" (RCIA, Outline for Christian Initiation of Adults). Apprentices in Faith offers you material for every Sunday in the three-year cycle of Sunday readings.

Materials will always be uploaded at least three months ahead of the date on which they will be used. Below are the sessions currently available for download. If you are using Internet Explorer, the links to downloadable PDF files will open printable files in your browser window. To return to the page you were viewing, hit your back button. To save the file to your hard drive, click your right mouse button and select "Save."

Young Apprentices subscribers, you will find your session downloads under the appropriate date and clearly identified with "YA". Please note that there will be some Sundays and/or feasts for which there will be no Young Apprentices posting. In addition, you may find the following resource articles helpful to you during the Catechumenate Period.
