This page on Christian initiation is offered in each issue of The Sower as an on-going way to address specific questions that do not necessarily get addressed in more general articles and training resources. The questions all come straight from the field, and have two sources: 1) from readers like you; 2) from issues raised during seminars conducted by the Association for Catechumenal Ministry (ACM) over the past ten years in various dioceses.
The following questions will be addressed in this issue.
Q. What is mystagogy? How long is it? What is a mystagogy session?
Q. What are the principles to keep in mind when addressing questions regarding any policy conflicts that may arise between the priest/pastor and the RCIA director?
Q. Are there reasons why a nine-month RCIA program is problematic? What are some suggestions for a parish planning to move to a year-round RCIA process?
The rest of this online article is available for current Guild members.
