A Lending Library

Posted on October 31st, 2008

At each RCIA session, you should have a lending library available for RCIA participants.  This way, your inquirers, catechumens, elect, and neophytes can check out additional resources at any time during the RCIA process to grow in their knowledge and understanding of the Catholic Faith as well as the spiritual life.

We recommend including a variety of different types of media (VHS, DVDs, books, compact discs, pamphlets, audio books, etc.) that cover a wide range of interests from apologetics to Bible study, to Catholic spirituality.  This library would then allow participants to check out materials whenever they wish to go deeper into a particular topic or to have their questions/concerns answered.

So you ask: What do you recommend? Well, due to the prolific work of Catholic publishers over the past couple of decades, there are many, many excellent resources available.  Below, we have listed a few suggestions, but by no means at all should this be taken as an exhaustive list!  Each suggestion is linked to a place on the Internet where you can get it, to make it even easier on your part.
