Gateways To Conversion

[Download Flyer and Registration Form]

Gateways to Conversion: The ministry of Christian initiation could be described as having three aspects: liturgical, catechetical, and pastoral. The RCIA, as restored by the Second Vatican Council, is a fundamentally liturgical process. It derives its power from the major and minor rites that so critically serve the Holy Spirit's work of conversion in souls. The catechetical and pastoral aspects of the RCIA process are to be at the service of the liturgical aspect.

This highly practical workshop will focus on how to use these rites effectively in the parish, how to prepare participants for them, and how to follow-up participants' experience of the immense graces offered in these liturgies. Sponsored by the Office for Divine Worship of the Archdiocese of Atlanta, it is open to all. Registration is $20 in advance or $25 at the door. Lunch is included for those registered at least one week in advance.
