The First Phase:
The Period of Inquiry (Precatechumenate)

The period of Inquiry is a time for:

• asking questions about the Catholic faith
• building community within the group
• developing a trusting athmosphere.

More importantly, it is a time for:

• examining God's presence in our lives, past and present
• learning about prayer
• fostering conversion
• developing or improving our relationship with God
• getting to know his church.

We read the Sunday Gospel for the week and discuss what it means to us in our lives.
We also discuss topics such as:

• What brought you to RCIA
• What is your image of God
• Prayer and liturgy
• Who is Jesus
• Who is the Holy Spirit
• Who is the Trinity
• The Saints
