“A Guide to the Period of Evangelization and Precatechumenate is an outstanding resource for Christian Initiation team members and parish leaders. The authors provide a clear and compelling vision for parish life, emphasizing the creation of supportive structures of accompaniment to nurture and guide individuals as they begin their journey of faith. Whether you are directly involved with initiation ministry or simply have a passion for living the mission of evangelization in your parish, this guide will prove invaluable. Deeply practical, it equips parish leaders with the tools necessary to transform the precatechumenate (inquiry) phase of the initiation process and provides key insights to build up the parish into a vibrant center of faith. An essential read for anyone committed to the mission of evangelization and the profound impact of true accompaniment.”

"This book is a powerful reminder of the Church as an evangelizing community. It will equip catechists and Catholics in the pews to adapt their ministries to better attract and engage seekers. The authors encourage initiation teams to invest in their own formation—essential for their own growth and renewal. They also make a convincing case for letting go of “how it’s always been done” and embracing whatever is needed to meet seekers where they are. A must read for anyone interested in making their parish more welcoming and inviting to seekers, forming their initiation teams, and proclaiming the Gospel boldly to new community members."
— Luana Lienhart, OCIA catechist at Saint Clement Parish, Chicago.
