Description
There is only one catechumenate in the parish. It is a liturgical formation process that leads the unbaptized of all ages to life with Christ in the Catholic Church. Parish ministers are often presented with older children who have not been baptized (or completed Christian Initiation). This webinar will explore what the OCIA says about the initiation of children, how the Church invites us to think and practice differently our approach to catechesis and finally some practical ways of implementing the OCIA with children and their families.
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.
