Why we need initiation rituals, Fr. Richard Rohr The Law of Gift Catechism of the Catholic Church Christian Initiation 1229 From the time of the apostles, becoming a Christian has been accomplished by a journey and initiation in several stages. This journey can be covered rapidly or slowly, but certain essential elements will always have to be present: proclamation of the Word, acceptance of the Gospel entailing conversion, profession of faith, Baptism itself, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and admission to Eucharistic communion. 1230 This initiation has varied greatly through the centuries according to circumstances. In the first centuries of the Church, Christian initiation saw considerable development. A long period of catechumenate included a series of preparatory rites, which were liturgical landmarks along the path of catechumenal preparation and culminated in the celebration of the sacraments of Christian initiation. 1231 Where infant Baptism has become the form in which this sacrament is usually celebrated, it has become a single act encapsulating the preparatory stages of Christian initiation in a very abridged way. By its very nature infant Baptism requires a post-baptismal catechumenate. Not only is there a need for instruction after Baptism, but also for the necessary flowering of baptismal grace in personal growth. The catechism has its proper place here.

Mentors Mentoring is an excellent opportunity for all those feeling called to hold higher positions in our Catholic schools, to test their ability to be the servants of those they have authority over, and lead those they work with to a greater communion with their Creator. Mentors will be practicing Catholics and individuals eager to grow in their Faith while helping others. They serve as facilitators and witnesses of the faith, not as Catechists or as teachers to their peers. Mentors should reflect on the topic beforehand and watch the formation videos in advance of the Catholic formation class. At each formation, the mentors will take roll of all the staff and teachers present to ensure complete participation and recall the ideas discussed the last week. Then, they will lead a reflection or prayer as they introduce the day’s topic. In divided classes, the male and female mentors will lead the separate formations. Before each video the mentors will pass out the worksheets for all to complete during and immediately following the video. Each participant will complete the worksheet and think of something from the video for consideration. The mentor should allow for silence after the video as the group reflects on the topic. After a few minutes, the mentor splits the participants into smaller groups to encourage productive dialogue. This dialogue is imperative to the program's effectiveness. Mentors will ensure all participants have satisfactorily completed the worksheets; then, they will give them back to participants to be uploaded to the TLI. Participation during discussion time and uploading worksheets to the TLI are necessary to earn CPD hours. Discussion Method: As the year progresses and individuals become more practiced in the discussion method, the participants will be more free to contribute and the discussions will greatly improve. The discussions are intended to seek the truth through sparking curiosity and wonder. Disagreements are encouraged, as they can be a valuable means of discovering the truth more fully for all. Tips for facilitating discussion: Practical tips for improving discussions by Arts of Liberty.
