RCIA Catechist Training Seminar : 7/31/2009 - 8/2/2009
Location: Hyatt Regency, DFW Airport
As a part of the Diocesan 40th Anniversary Celebration, Bishop Vann has invited the Association for Catechumenal Ministry to the diocese to provide a valuable series of training seminars for clergy, RCIA directors, catechists, and teams. These seminars are very comprehensive in nature and will help parishes to continue to implement the RCIA process in their parishes and provide a diocesan-wide vision for RCIA as we continue to minister to and catechize those who are seeking Baptism and full communion with the Catholic Church.
The diocesan Catechist Training Seminar follows the diocesan Team Training Seminar two months later. Again, two to three full days of training are given, fo-cused specifically on the needs of parish priests, RCIA directors and cate-chists. This format is designed to teach the fundamentals of methodology in cate-chesis as it is applied in a catechumenal setting. Participants will be instructed in the following areas: teaching for conversion, using the ecclesial method, how to do liturgical catechesis and scriptural catechesis, incorporating the Catholic family story, organizing and systematizing the catechesis in the catechumenate, doing apologetics in the precatechumenate, and incorporating prayer and personal witness into the catechetical endeavor.
RCIA Catechist Training Seminar (for Directors and Catechists)
- Friday evening, July 31 through Sunday afternoon, August 2, 2009
