Abstract
As the Archdiocesan Consultant for Adult Faith Formation and
Initiation, one of my primary responsibilities is to train parish leadership
to form Precatechumenate, Catechumenate, and Mystagogical teams
in order to provide comprehensive adult faith formation experiences for
not only the candidates and catechumens in the R.C.l.A. but for those
members of the larger assembly who serve in various team roles as well.
If the restoration of the catechumenate teaches us anything, it is the
reality that faith is rooted in community, not in isolation. Pastorally,
parishes must each learn how to be flexible with the R.C.l.A. without
making it unrecognizable in adapting it to meet their specific parish needs
and demands.
