A Handbook for RCIA Team Formation offers a comprehensive understanding of the RCIA as a process. Each chapter addresses one particular aspect or period of this process. This team formation course is ideal for a year-round RCIA process but is not limited to that format. 

Interspersed throughout the informational parts of the chapters are practical activities, situational examples, and connections with our Catholic heritage. A very important chapter on discernment in the RCIA is also included.

To achieve the lofty goal of assembling and training a team of faithful and faith-filled ministers, one must first come to understand the distinctions of “where, why, and how” the catechumenate fits within the catechetical life and ministry of the Catholic Church.
