Families in O/RCIA: Parish Program Model
The Pflaum Gospel Weeklies offer resources for catechesis for children who are preparing for Christian initiation or who have a family member in the O/RCIA process.
Pflaum Gospel Weeklies and the O/RCIA Process
Since the Gospel Weeklies follow the current year’s Lectionary cycle, the natural flow of the lessons is not affected by the changing date of Easter. Other O/RCIA resources for children are unable to make this claim.
