The peace of Christ be with you
Welcome to the North American Association for the Catechumenate (NAAC), an ecumenical organization which provides training and support for churches engaged in the process of baptismal conversion and making Christian disciples.
Welcome Ministry Practitioners and All Engaged in Spiritual Formation
We believe that the catechumenate is an important tool for discipleship in today's church that not only prepares people for baptism but also for baptismal living. We invite you to be in conversation with others in the larger Christian community. Check out NAAC's Open Forum known as "Living Wet" for a sharing of faith stories, questions, suggestions, and resources. Let us know how your congregation is reclaiming the ancient rite of the catechumenate.
