Catechists in Action – Marge Concludes RCIA Session with Prayer

Joe Paprocki Catechists in Action, RCIA

In this final segment of Catechists in Action, Marge Garbacz leads her RCIA group in a concluding prayer and musical meditation. Watch for the following:

  • Marge introduces the concluding prayer and connects it with the theme of human dignity.
  • Marge  directs the participants to their parts in the prayer and goes over the flow of the prayer so that everyone knows what is happening, how, and when.
  • Marge introduces the musical meditation, Love Never Fails
  • One of the RCIA team members reads Scripture (Matthew 25)
  • All join together in prayer
  • The prayer closes with the Sign of the Cross

Thanks so much, Marge and your RCIA, for inviting us into your sacred space to watch you in action! What a wonderful note on which to end our Catechists in Action series!!!
