Congregational life

An ancient journey rediscovered

---

Older members of your congregation may remember when most stores were closed on Sundays, or when public schools hosted Christmas pageants and taught kids to sing carols. In our current culture, the stories and tenets of our faith aren’t always passed along as readily as they once were. Perhaps because of this, more people today seem to be yearning for a deeper experience of the sacred. The catechumenate is an ancient spiritual process that helps deepen faith through education and spiritual practices. Has its time come again?
