Doctrinal Sessions

Apprentices in Faith, the companion product of Young Apprentices serving older teens and adults in the RCIA process, offers unique doctrinal sessions for both participants and catechists that have been developed as separate one-hour sessions. While these materials were originally prepared for older teens and adults, you may find them helpful as background material for preparation of Precatechumenate and Catechumenate sessions with children and youth.

Below is a complete list of 47 Doctrinal Sessions which highlight the four pillars of the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
