In
The Way of Faith:
A Field Guide for the RCIA Process,
Nick Wagner asks,
“What would it take to have the best initiation process
of which your parish is capable?”
“It would take a lot,” he answers.
“No kidding.
It would take a lot of time and energy.”

If you want to renew your own team,
or if you want to start and sustain an excellent catechumenate,
you want to make sure you have all the tools you need.
This field guide gives you that and more.
Nick Wagner provides a step-by-step tour
through each of the stages of the catechumenate,
giving you the knowledge and confidence you need
to lead your parish process.
This lively, “plain-English” guide is cram-packed with
tips,
solutions,
best-practices,
and no-nonsense guidance.

Learn who you need on your team,
how to find sponsors,
how to know when catechumens and candidates are ready to
move from one stage to the next,
and how to plan and choreograph the rites of the RCIA.

If you are a pastor, an RCIA director, a team member, a
catechist, or a sponsor, this book will transform the way you do
your ministry.
