Every pastor and initiation coordinator will want Recruiting and Forming Your Parish Initiation Team in their catechumenal toolbox. This essential resource provides a sketch of the necessary roles needed on the initiation team then outlines the various qualifications for and responsibilities of each role on the team to help parish leaders carefully discern.
Dr. Eschenauer provides pastoral insight from her many years in parish initiation ministry, as well as concrete suggestions to help parish leaders build up and solidly form initiation team members who assist with the The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults.
Rooted in the ritual and documents of the Catholic Church, Recruiting and Forming your Parish Initiation Team moves beyond providing guides for content and recruitment. Dr. Eschenauer invites us to embrace the call to grow in our understanding of what Christian initiation is about—growth in discipleship. The invitation—given to individuals, initiation teams, and parish communities—to be rooted in our call to holiness is an invitation to fully realize the vision of RCIA.
—Rebecca Spellacy Associate Director for Liturgy in the Office of Formation for Discipleship at the Archdiocese of Toronto
Donna Eschenauer provides a fundamental vision of an authentic Christian initiation process and how ministries, liturgical practice, parish life, and living the mission contribute to it. Rooting the rite in the conciliar documents and the lived experience of the church, she shows it as continuing the mission of Jesus today. From reflections on the practice of ministry, to recruiting methods and training outlines, she describes basic and practical steps to a vibrant parish initiation ministry.
—Joseph Milner Director of Christian Initiation at the Archdiocese of St Louis
