# '''Period of inquiry''' – which is where we are now, at the beginning. This is a time to ask questions, learn, talk to people, and see where you on your faith journey. | |||
# '''Rite of Welcome''' – a symbolic gesture indicating that you want to pursue a closer relationship with God and with God’s people. | |||
# '''Period of Catechumen''' – this is the deepest period of growth and learning. The term ''Catechumen'' comes from the phrase ''to echo'' or ''to resound''. This is the longest period and helps understand the relationship of the head and the heart in our faith journey. | |||
# '''Rite of Election''' – this is a Rite where our Bishop publicly and formally announces your welcome to the church and your intent to come into full communion. | |||
# '''Period of purification and enlightenment''' – this period takes place during the period of Lent, the 40-day period before the summit of Easter. This period emphasizes prayer and introspection. | |||
# '''Celebration of the sacraments at Easter''' – coming into full communion with the church at the Easter Vigil. The most joyful celebration also celebrates our new brothers and sisters in faith. | |||
# '''Mystagogy''' – the continuation of your faith journey immediately following your reception into full communion with the church. | |||
