The Missionary Reality of the RCIA Process | Fr. Chris Ryan | Huntley Leadership Podcast #159

When you think of the RCIA process, what comes to mind?

 

Do you see it as simply a liturgical process? Do you believe that it can have a significant evangelical impact? This week's podcast guest believes that it can!

 

Fr. Chris Ryan has a Ph.D. in theology and wrote his doctoral dissertation on the RCIA's ability to help evangelize young people.

 

On this week's episode, Ron and Fr. Chris unpack the missionary reality of the RCIA process and explore what it can look like when implemented within a parish that's alive!

 

The wells of our Roman Catholic faith are incredibly deep, and there's so much to learn. This conversation is worth a listen!
