Book's Detail
Parish Catechumenate : Pastors, Presiders, Preachers

F THE CATECHUMENATE is a brand new adventure in the parish, or if it has been tried and found wanting, or if it is just beginning to bear fruit generously in each case, this book will be a friend. The authors offer sound guidelines for that baptismal renewal to which the scriptures and the Second Vatican Council call every person and every parish.

Thomas Caroluzza extends to fellow pastors affirmation and challenge as they make their parishes catechumenal throughout.

Austin Fleming suggests ways for lenten preachers to approach the lectionary, the scrutinies and the exorcisms.

Robert Hovda discovers in the texts of the RCIA important clues about appropriate attitudes, responsibilities and relationships of the presider.

Mary Benet McKinney provides a model of decision making that arises directly from church tradition and that works well in parishes striving for hospitality.

Robert Morneau suggests how spiritual leaders in a parish can open themselves more freely to God's love in prayer so that catechumens and others may go and do likewise.

James Telthorst offers specific examples for the Eastertime homilist to connect the rich lectionary selections, the fresh faith of the neophytes and the needs of the assembly.

Charles Gusmer concludes the book with seven clear, cogent reasons why your parish needs a catechumenate.
