RCIA Network Gatherings
Archdiocese of New York
The RCIA Network gatherings are for coordinators of the Catechumenate and members of the parish RCIA team. These RCIA Network gatherings are great opportunities for colleagues in ministry to fellowship, pray and discuss RCIA ministry concerns, hopes, and dreams. The gatherings always begin with a shared meal, followed by prayer, and then some good discussion.
