What to Teach the RCIA Class about the Saints?

What to Teach the RCIA Class about the Saints? November 8, 2010

This coming Sunday, (and the Monday evening following) I’ve been asked to teach the RCIA Catechumens and Candidates from my parish a class on the Communion of Saints. What should I tell them? What questions should I be prepared for? What do you think they want to know? What would you like to know if you were them?

Aside from the dry, formulaic, and dare I say it, boring (!) presentations on the saints that many have endured, what would you suggest?

I’m excited about the saints, because as you know, I think they are hards corps. So I don’t think I’ll bore anyone to death, but I don’t want to scare anyone either (the horror!). And I’m humble enough to admit that I don’t have all the answers either.

So shoot me your suggestions in the comm box below. And I promise an “after-action” report when I’m all finished (including how many people I put to sleep).

Thanks for your help!
