Itroductio A Experiece That Chaged Me I the early 1990s, durig my first year as director of liturgy ad music at St. Marcellie Parish i Schaumburg, Illiois, I was put i charge of the parish s visit to our sharig parish, Our Lady of Lourdes, i the ier city of Chicago. I reserved two school buses ad prepared the parish choir to sig at a Suday morig Mass at Our Lady of Lourdes. Whe the morig of the visit arrived I was surprised to see the parish s director of Christia iitiatio comig toward oe of the school buses with the catechumes ad cadidates i tow. I wodered aloud whether or ot there would be a dismissal of catechumes at our sharig parish ad just what the director plaed o doig for their sessio. She calmly told me to relax. We boarded the buses ad headed ito the city, through some of the poorest eighborhoods i Chicago. Whe we arrived we discovered that the church s furace was ot fuctioig. It was November ad the temperature hovered i the upper forties. It was quite cold i the old stoe church. Some of the choir members wore their coats beeath their choir robes. We celebrated a woderful Mass ad were later treated to a delicious breakfast i the parish hall. A week later our catechumes ad cadidates aouced that they were startig a coat drive for the childre of Our Lady of Lourdes. Durig the visit they oticed may of the parish s childre i short-sleeve T-shirts. They wodered what would happe whe the bitter Chicago witer weather arrived. They decided, o their ow, ad without the pastoral staff s permissio, that a coat drive was eeded. I order to do this, they eeded to lear how to get a article ito the bulleti about the coat drive. They eeded to lear how to arrage for aoucemets from the pulpit. They eeded to secure a room i the parish ceter to collect ad store the coats. They eeded to schedule times for the drop-offs. I other words, they eeded to lear, firsthad, what it meat to be a Catholic, a perso who is Christ for others. May o the parish staff ad iitiatio team wodered if these catechumes ad cadidates would have bee moved to iitiate a justice project like the coat drive if, istead of goig to the sharig parish, they were give a lecture o the Church s social miistry. We thought ot. The Catechumeate as a Appreticeship This experiece is a illustratio of what this book is all about. This is a book about appreticig people to the Catholic way of life. Appreticeship is ot a ew way of formatio. The Secod Vatica Coucil, i paragraph 14 of its Decree o the Church s Missioary Activity, Ad Getes, put forth the geeratig visio for the way that catechumes should be iitiated. Those who, through the Church, have accepted from God a belief i Christ should be admitted to the catechumeate by liturgical rites. The catechumeate is ot a mere expoudig of doctries ad precepts, but a traiig period for the whole Christia life. It is a appreticeship of appropriate legth, durig which disciples are joied to Christ their Teacher. Therefore, catechumes should be properly istructed i the mystery of salvatio ad i the practice of gospel morality. By sacred rites which are to be held at successive itervals, they should be itroduced ito the life of faith, liturgy, ad love, which God s People lives. This geeratig visio, that the catechumeate is a appreticeship of appropriate legth, durig which disciples are joied to Christ their Teacher has ot, at least i this author s experiece, had its iteded effect o the implemetatio of the Rite of Christia Iitiatio of Adults across the Uited States ad Caada. A Iteret search o 4
the words RCIA program reveals that most RCIA programs are made up of a syllabus of topics desiged to cover a rage of Catholic doctrial elemets. I other words, it seems that what the Rite of Christia Iitiatio of Adults has tured ito, i may places, is precisely what the geeratig visio of Ad Getes wared agaist: a mere expoudig of doctries ad precepts. Most parishes celebrate the rites, ad some programs are peppered with a limited amout of apostolic activity ad coectios with the parish commuity. For the majority of iitiatio programs, however, the expoudig of doctries ad precepts remais at the core. Appreticeship to the Christia life appears to be missig. The Rite of Christia Iitiatio of Adults, i paragraph 75, takes up the geeratig visio of Ad Getes ad describes four ways to trai people i the Christia way of life. They have bee described i these geeral terms: catechesis, commuity, liturgy, ad apostolic service. Throughout the Uited States ad Caada, we have become quite good at the first of the four. There are all kids of catechetical programs that assist iitiatio miisters i hadig o the cotet of the Catholic faith. This book is iteded to help iitiatio practitioers implemet more fully the rest of paragraph 75 s four-pillared approach to Christia formatio. The Geeral Directory for Catechesis Paragraph 67 of the Geeral Directory for Catechesis speaks of the fudametal characteristics of iitiatory catechesis i this way: This comprehesive formatio icludes more tha istructio: it is a appreticeship of the etire Christia life. Paragraph 66 of the same documet defies the aim of catechetical activity. The aim of catechetical activity cosists precisely i this: to ecourage a livig, explicit ad fruitful professio of faith (Cf. Catechism of the Catholic Church 1229; Secod Vatica Coucil, Decree o the Pastoral Office of Bishops i the Church, Christus Domius 14). The challege posed to miisters of Christia iitiatio, as well as to all who are ivolved i the Church s catechetical miistry, is this: How do we trasform iitiatio models that focus almost etirely o teachig dogma ad precepts ito models that embrace appreticeship as the key geeratig visio? I other words, how do we move our formatio processes i a directio that more fully ecourages a livig, explicit, ad fruitful professio of faith? The Natioal Directory for Catechesis Paragraph 29.G of the Natioal Directory for Catechesis, published by the Uited States Coferece of Catholic Bishops i 2005, expads o the appreticeship model. I additio, learig by Christia livig is a essetial compoet of catechetical methodology. The active participatio of all the catechized i their Christia formatio fosters learig by doig. As a geeral coditio of Christia life, the faithful actively respod to God s lovig iitiative through prayig; celebratig the sacramets ad the Liturgy; livig the Christia life; fosterig works of charity (meetig the eeds of those who are poor ad vulerable) ad works of justice (workig to address the ijustices that exist i the systemic ad istitutioal orgaizatios of society); ad promotig virtues from the atural law such as liberty, solidarity, justice, peace, ad the protectio of the created order. The participatio of adults i their ow catechetical formatio is essetial, sice they have the fullest capacity to uderstad the truths of the faith ad live the Christia life. The bishops are clear: Learig by doig is at the core of Christia formatio ad catechesis. What a woderful way to embrace the call to catechize others! Ofte dubbed borig or too itellectual, formatio i the Christia way of life is ot at all passive whe it embraces the model of appreticeship. Real live Christias doig Christ s work o this earth guide others i the actual doig of this work by showig them how their hads, feet, ad voices become the hads, feet, ad voice of Christ here ad ow. The bishops cotiue i paragraph 29.H: It is a guided ecouter with the etire Christia life, a jourey toward coversio to Christ. It is a school for discipleship that promotes a authetic followig of Christ. Coversio at the Core Coversio is at the ceter of the Church s catechetical ad evagelical activity. Several years ago while I was workig at a parish i cetral Florida, we ivited our catechumes ad cadidates to prepare ad serve the eveig meal at the Orlado Coalitio for the Homeless. That year oe ma, I ll call him Jack, was oe of our catechumes. He was always ready to aswer questios whe asked. He was gregarious ad would get more reticet catechumes ad cadidates ivolved i our faith coversatios. After we staffed that meal for the poor, Jack became quite sulle ad despodet over the ext weeks. We asked his sposor if Jack had become ill or had received bad ews. The sposor told us that Jack was doig fie ad that he would let us kow what was happeig i due time. At a sessio weeks later, i the middle of a talk o some aspect of Catholic doctrie, Jack raised his had ad said, I eed to say somethig. He wet o, All of you remember the ight we were feedig the poor at the Coalitio for the Homeless. Ad, o doubt, you oticed that I was right o the frot lies. I did t wat to be back i the kitche makig the Sloppy Joes. I did t wat to be o the set-up or tear-dow crew. I wated to be frot ad ceter, actually hadig the food to the people. So there 5
I was, beig haded a plate with some salad ad a ope hamburger bu o it. My job was to scoop the ladle ito the mix ad plop the Sloppy Joe mix oto the hamburger bu, the had the plate to the poor perso. Sice there were hudreds that we were feedig that ight, I kid of got ito a rhythm pickig up the plate, scoopig the mix with the ladle, ploppig the mix oto the bu, servig the plate to the hugry perso. All of a sudde it really dawed o me. This is what my hads were created to do pickig, scoopig, ploppig, ad servig. My hads were created to feed hugry people. Jack the shared with the etire group the fact that for most of his adult life he had struggled with porography. He told us that he could t believe what his hads had actually doe i the past. He told us about his hads flippig through dirty magazies. He told us about his hads graspig remote cotrol devices to watch filthy movies. He told us how his hads forked over lots of moey to buy all this trash. The he said, That was ot what my hads were meat to do. This is what my hads were meat to do. At that poit he made the motios of pickig, scoopig, ploppig, ad servig. This, he said, this is what my hads were created to do. Appreticeship activities lead people to do what Jesus Christ would do. Ad whe people become ivolved i the work of Christ, suddely those thigs about their attitudes ad actios that are least Christlike are set i stark relief. Jack was experiecig deep coversio, ot because he was told what his hads were created to do, but because that tellig was accompaied by actually doig what his hads were created to do. The Appreticeship Methodology For years catechists have looked to the Suday readigs ad the liturgical year i order to cull from these sources liks to Catholic doctrie. This book does somethig similar. It examies the Suday readigs of the three years that make up our liturgical cycle with a view toward fidig the kid of Christia actio they might ispire. A particular lie from the first readig, resposorial psalm, secod readig, or Gospel forms the basis for ispirig a appreticeship activity. Followig the suggested appreticeship activity, the aspect of Christia formatio to which the activity is related is idetified. The a list of primary catechetical resources is give, icludig pertiet paragraphs from the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the Uited States Catholic Catechism for Adults, papal ad episcopal materials, ad useful Web sites for more iformatio ad resources. The catechist ca choose to refer to oly these resources or supplemet them from the wealth of catechetical materials that are available. The movemets of this formatioal process are Word Appreticeship Activity Mystagogical Catechesis. I other words, the scripture ispires Catholic doig ad the role of traditioal catechesis comes i oly after the doig of the Catholic activity. I this way, the catechetical resources fuctio ot i a vacuum, but withi the cotext of lived faith. Catholic traditio is a importat coversatio parter with the actual Catholic activity. A sectio detailig how to apply this catechetical method is provided o page 8. Obviously each Suday s set of scripture readigs ca ispire may appreticeship activities. They also ispire a myriad of catechetical approaches. The appreticeship activities suggested here are some amog may. Give the time costraits of so may i our iitiatio processes, it would be highly improbable that a iitiatio process could be structured solely aroud these activities. This book is meat as a resource to help iitiatio miisters weave appreticeship activities ito their curret way of iitiatig ew Catholics. This book suggests a appreticeship activity ispired by the readigs for each Suday. For iitiatio processes that are topically drive rather tha drive by the Suday word, a idex of topics is give. Fid the topic, the the Suday(s) listed uder that topic. For these Sudays, a appreticeship activity is suggested that is coected to that topic. Some parishes will fid a multitude of possibilities whe it comes to coectig those i the iitiatio process with the work of Christ i the parish. Others may eed to look beyod their ow parish, perhaps eve to what eighborig parishes are doig i certai fields, or their (arch)diocese. Oe may eed to look outside church structures to fid appropriate appreticeship activities. Throughout this book, the term appretice is used to refer to those beig catechized. The term serves as a remider that those whose formatio 6
we have resposibility for are ot simply receptacles for catechetical iformatio. They are actively learig how to live as Christias by practicig the Catholic way of life. Christia Formatio for the Etire Parish Those miisterig to catechumes ad baptized, ucatechized cadidates i the parish iitiatio process will fid this book helpful. It ca also be helpful for those miisterig to youg people i Catholic schools, religious educatio programs, cofirmatio preparatio programs, ad youth miistry programs. For far too log, hours spet doig service projects have bee required for some sacrametal preparatio programs. Without a guided reflectio upo these kids of activities, a reflectio that puts the activity i coversatio with Catholic teachig, those projects ca become simply a obstacle to be overcome o the way to a sacramet. The method preseted i this book provides that ecessary reflectio. This book is also a helpful tool for those workig i the area of whole commuity catechesis. A itergeeratioal gatherig of parishioers could come together to egage i a appreticeship activity. Age-appropriate catechesis could the break ope the experiece ad pertiet biblical ad doctrial catechesis could be shared. Becomig more committed disciples of Christ eed ot be solely a itellectual eterprise. Actually doig Christ s work ad the reflectig upo it will take root ad flourish. It should be oted that this book was desiged first of all for use with adult catechumes ad cadidates as part of their process of formatio for Christia iitiatio. Thus some of the suggested activities may be less helpful or appropriate for youger appretices. Catechists are ecouraged to use this book as ispiratio for formatio of whatever age group they work with, ad should feel free to adapt the activities i ways that will best suit their ow groups. The importat thig is to maitai the method that should always ivolve the sequece of Word Appreticeship Activity Mystagogical Catechesis. Learig I the Hole My yougest brother, Jim, whe he was earig the ed of his high school years, decided that he wated to become a electricia. He was hired by a electrical cotractor ad worked may hours per week, at miimum wage, for the cotractor. Jim erolled i classes that met every other Thursday ight to get book kowledge about electrical work. Oe summer while visitig my family i New Eglad, I was awakeed by the early morig rustligs of Jim, who was preparig his luch for his work day. It was about five o clock i the morig. Jim retured home from work at about seve that eveig, completely covered with dirt ad sweat. I gaped at him ad asked him how he had spet his day. He said to me, I a hole. You see, the cotractor I work for has the cotract for a large doughut shop chai i souther New Eglad. Today we spet the day istallig a drive-through kiosk at oe of these shops. We dug a huge hole betwee the shop ad the place where people would order their doughuts ad coffee for pickup at the take-out widow. I spet the day i blisterig heat, i the hole, with my boss showig me how to make the proper coectios. Six moths later I received a phoe call from Jim, who was burstig with the proud ews that he had just received his licese i the mail. He was ow a licesed electricia i the Commowealth of Massachusetts. I share this story because it has so much to do with the way we form people i the Christia way of life. My questio: Where did my brother Jim become a electricia? The aswer: I the hole! Ad he also eeded every other Thursday ight at class to put his practical experiece ito a kid of coversatio with what he was learig i the books. Christia formatio is ot ulike this experiece. Your parish is a hole a hole i which people seekig to become Christ for others lear how to do that precisely by doig that. Yes, they do eed the book kowledge as well. This kowledge must be placed i a coversatio with their real work of becomig Christ for the world. I hope this book helps you coect those i Christia formatio with what is happeig i the hole, what is happeig i your parish. After all, what we are about is makig disciples committed to brigig the Good News to a world hugry for that ews. Jerry Galipeau, D. Mi. 7
A Catechetical Method: Mystagogical Catechesis i the Sessio for Christia Formatio After the appreticeship experiece, the leader may wish to employ the followig method to iitiate a dialogue that addresses the scripture, the appreticeship experiece that flowed out of the scripture, ad related Church teachig. This approach begis with the leader facilitatig a process that helps break the experiece ope for the participats. This kid of reflectio is mystagogical because it attempts to probe the meaig of the experiece. The the applicable Church teachig may be explored more fruitfully. A. Iitial Reflectio If some time has elapsed sice the appreticeship experiece, the leader may begi the reflectio by helpig the participats recall the evet ad what they did. A simple walk-through of what happeed will usually suffice. Begi by readig the scripture text that ispired the appreticeship activity. Oce the scripture is read ad the evet has bee recalled, it is importat that the participats first reflect o the appreticeship activity at the level of their iitial observaces ad reactios. The purpose of this is to get a clear picture of what took place ad their reactio to it so that their later, deeper reflectio will be more fruitful. The followig questios may be helpful. 1. How were you feelig as you prepared for the activity? 2. Describe the locatio of the activity. What struck you about the locatio? Who was preset? Does aythig or ayoe stad out i your mid? 3. What touched you about the experiece? Were there ay surprises? B. Deeper Reflectio This ext level of reflectio probes the experiece more deeply, with a eye toward ucoverig the meaig of the experiece. The leader ecourages the participats to make coectios betwee what occurred ad the issues of faith ad theology that have bee emergig i their Christia formatio. The followig questios may be helpful. 1. Did you sese the presece of God at ay time durig the evet? I what ways? 2. Was your ow faith ourished at ay time durig the activity? Ca you ame ways that your faith was ourished? 3. Was your uderstadig of the Church as the Body of Christ expaded i some way? 4. Ca you describe a way that you experieced the presece of Christ i those aroud you durig the activity? 5. What did you lear about yourself? What did you lear about the other people who were preset? C. Sharig Church Teachig After the participats various reflectios, the leader the begis to catechize by placig related Church teachig i dialogue with the experiece. This may take the form of a presetatio o the related topic. The leader should make it clear that the participats ought to feel free to ask clarifyig questios durig the presetatio. The leader will eed to make cocrete coectios betwee what is beig preseted ad the reflectios of the participats. This is critical to this type of catechesis. The leader will usually fid that catechizig a group of persos who have shared a commo experiece related to the topic will brig much more life to the particular teachig tha would be possible otherwise. D. Coclusio Oce the Church teachig has bee shared, the leader may wish to proclaim the origial scripture readig agai, callig for a momet of silet reflectio. The leader may ask the participats to recall ways that they have bee formed more ad more ito the image of Christ through the appreticeship activity, the reflectio, ad the teachig. A momet of grateful silece is appropriate. The followig questios may be helpful. 1. What have I leared through this experiece? 2. I what ways have I experieced chage? 3. Ca I idetify a ew directio that God may be callig me to embrace? E. Closig Prayer Depedig o the makeup of the group, the leader may choose to ed the sessio with oe of the blessigs or exorcism prayers from the Rite of Christia Iitiatio of Adults. At other times, a priest or deaco might be ivited to aoit ay catechumes preset with the oil of catechumes. A simple prayer of thaksgivig for the experiece ad the reflectio upo that experiece would also be most appropriate. 8
