Mary Birmingham
In two 40-minute sessions, Mary Birmingham gives you and your team a thorough primer
and refresher course on the principles of the RCIA, the power of the liturgical year and the
liturgy of the word, and how to hand on a love for Christ and the treasury of our Catholic
doctrine to your catechumens and candidates.

We hope you watch these videos with your RCIA team and discuss them in your team
formation gatherings. And then take a look at Faith, Life & Creed, the most complete
conversion-oriented, liturgically-based catechesis for Christian life, available to you as PDF
downloads directly to your own computer.

In Part 1, Mary takes
you on a whirlwind
tour of the general
principles of the RCIA
and how solid
catechesis can flow
directly from the
liturgy, meditation on
Scripture, fellowship
with the Christian
community, and the
proclamation of the
Gospel through works
of mercy and service.
In Part 2, Mary shows you
step by step how her new
resource, Faith, Life & Creed
gives even new catechists
and RCIA teams the tools
and the confidence to
prepare a complete and
comprehensive catechesis
that respects the needs of
each catechumen and
candidate, is rooted in the
liturgical year, and provides
many opportunities for
deeper conversion to Christ.
