This easy-to-use resource provides initiation ministers with the pastoral tools needed to lead dismissal sessions with adults preparing for Baptism. Through reflection and discussion, each dismissal session guide helps to develop the catechumen’s relationship with Christ, self, and neighbor by internalizing the Word, concentrating their prayer around the Scriptures, and becoming familiar with the teachings of the Church. The step-by-step format makes leading the dismissal an easy and prayerful experience.

  • Guides for dismissal sessions for every Sunday and Holyday of Obligation of Year C

"Clearly formatted, detailed, and comprehensive; solidly grounded in concise scriptural exegesis and liturgical connections, this stellar resource for RCIA dismissal leads both catechists and catechumens on a journey of ongoing formation with absolute clarity and direction. Initiation team members will find this invaluable resource inviting, informative, and life-giving." —Jan Wood, Director of Liturgy and Music, St. Patrick Co-Cathedral, Billings, Montanna

"This book is a truly comprehensive resource for RCIA dismissal teams everywhere. If your parish already dismisses catechumens during Mass, it offers sound pastoral suggestions that will enhance your ministry. If your parish does not yet celebrate the dismissal of catechumens during Mass, it will inspire you to start. No matter your situation, using this resource will help your catechumens to more deeply encounter the living Word of God." —Paul Radkowski, Director of Music, Church of St. Edward the Confessor, Granville, Ohio
