The Catecumenate


The Catechumenate period is and should be a long one. It lasts at least a year or more.  During the catechumenate period you come to mass weekly and become a part of the assembled people of God by participating in the Liturgy of the Word. It is expected that in making yourself a part of the worshipping community, you participate in parish events as is the duty of all Catholics. You also have to show a readiness to turn to God in prayer, be a witness to Christ and keep your hopes focused on God. You must follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit and show a sincere love of neighbor. You grow in strength with Gods’ blessing by being present and active in this process. After the Liturgy of the Word, you get dismissed to further feed your hunger for our God.
