Welcome to The North American Forum on the Catechumenate

Where would we and the world be without these great 90 days?! Together, the seasons of Lent and Easter immerse Christians everywhere in the life-saving, world-renewing mystery of the Lord’s dying and rising. No wonder this is the time we bring new Christians to birth in the waters of baptism. No wonder this is when we renew at that same font our baptismal discipleship in Christ. May we each find ourselves and our communities deeply purified and enlightened in these holiest days of our Church year!
