This daylong workshop serves as a basic class for those involved in the ministry of Christian initiation. Participants at this gathering will receive an overview of the four stages of initiation and the rituals that accompany them. In addition, we will examine the pastoral principles associated with this ministry, as well as the role of the baptized faithful. Finally, the presenters will highlight the anticipated changes between the current ritual text and the upcoming translation of the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults.
