Doctrinal Sessions

Apprentices in Faith offers unique doctrinal sessions for both participants and catechists that have been developed as separate one-hour sessions. You may wish to use these materials if you conduct a second session with catechumens in addition to the Sunday Dismissal. These Doctrinal Sessions could also be useful during the Period of Evangelization and Precatechumenate (Inquiry) when particular questions arise.

Below is a complete list of 47 Doctrinal Sessions following the Four Pillars of the Universal Catechism of the Catholic Church.

Young Apprentices users, although these sessions were prepared for those who facilitate the RCIA with adults, your catechists and you will find these sessions to serve as helpful background resources to you in your ministry with children and youth in the RCIA process.
