How Parishes Can Support New Female Converts

At the parish I work at, one of my new responsibilities is overseeing the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA). 


While there were a few learning curves, the experience of walking with these people has been so life giving to my own personal faith. We had a unique group this year, in that of our ten candidates and catechumens, all were female except one!

They came from very different religious backgrounds.

Some were raised Catholic and some had no religious upbringing of any kind. Another was Jewish and a handful were unbaptized.

Working mostly with women, my heart has become attuned to the better ways our parish community (and all parishes!) can help support and nurture the growing faith of women as they enter full communion with the Catholic Church.
