As a priest, deacon, or catechist involved in facilitating and teaching an RCIA program, it’s important to have a solid understanding of the various periods, steps, and rites incorporated in the formation process of the candidates for the catechumenate, as well as how previously baptized Christians can take part in RCIA.

This course is suitable for adults, and seniors.

In this second series of videos on the contents section of the RCIA, we’ll walk you through some of the main information necessary to understand the structure and implementation of the RCIA process. We’ll cover the following topics:

• Christian initiation of children who have reached catechetical age
• Christian initiation of adults in exceptional circumstances
• Christian initiation of a person in danger of death
• Preparation of uncatechized adults to receive confirmation and eucharist
• Reception of baptized Christians into the full communion of the Catholic Church

Rest assured, we’ve made every effort in this series of videos to provide you with the knowledge you need to facilitate an RCIA program with confidence.

May our Lord Jesus Christ bestow his grace and peace upon you, and support you in your work for his holy Church.
