This five-panel chart provides easy access to the periods, rites, persons, and other key aspects of the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA). This chart folds out to span five panels. One side delineates each of the periods and liturgical rites of the catechumenal process. The other side outlines the various paths through the catechumenal process taken by particular categories of adults who are unbaptized and uncatechized, who are baptized and uncatechized, and who are baptized and catechized.
Identified within the process:
Ministries and offices of the initiation process
Pastoral, catechetical, and liturgical aspects of the process
Elements of the liturgical rites
References to the numbered paragraphs of the RCIA
Identified for catechumens and categories of candidates:
Name appropriate to the period
Type and length of appropriate formation
Liturgical celebrations
References to the numbered paragraphs of the RCIA
Text directly quotes the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) and the National Statutes for the Catechumenate approved by the United States Catholic Bishops. Referenced paragraph numbers facilitate your study.
While not suitable as an introduction for inquirers, this chart is perfect as an instructional and pastoral aid for initiation ministries.
