Saturday, February 25 | Period 6 | 2:45pm - 4:00pm 

As we celebrate the Sacraments of Initiation, we experience the transformative power of the ritual. The signs and symbols of the liturgy "touch and move a person to conversion of heart and not simply to enlightenment of mind". How do they form us as disciples? What do they call us to be and to do? How can we use them in celebration so that they may "strengthen faith and lead people to God?" (Built of Living Stones, 26).  In this session, participants will experience a way to include liturgical catechesis in their sacramental formation programs.
