The spiral-bound Catechist's Manual is designed to be a practical help to the catechist by offering a structured way of preparing for and presenting the catechetical portion of an RCIA session. Together with the companion Participant's Book, this manual enables catechists to prepare thoroughly for each session by presenting the faith both systematically and organically. It contains doctrinal lesson plans, with full Scripture and Catechism references and provides definitions of key terms. It also makes suggestions for hymns, prayers, and questions to use at meetings.
This resource is available for purchase through the Association for Catechumenal Ministry’s (ACM) website for $64.95. Please note that you’ll need to create an account to purchase this resource. Most of our workshops were filmed with the RCIA Leader’s Manual, First Edition, and both editions of the Leader’s Manual were created before RCIA was updated to OCIA. The language in these manuals has not yet been updated. Because the heart of the OCIA process as not changed, this resource is still applicable and beneficial to you and your OCIA team. This Leader’s Manual is needed to complete the workshops in our OCIA Track.
