So, now that I have gotten permission to mess around with Mystagogia, I was given the added idea/challenge to possibly set up some summer classes or even a year round Mystagogia/continuing adult education. I like the idea, but being a newer Catholic (about to turn 2 in Catholic years), I worry about leading and coming up with something all on my own.
So, does anyone know of any good resources? I was thinking maybe something to do with knowing and defending our faith better. Kinda, ‘you learned the basics, now let’s figure out why things are the way they are’. Knowing why we believe what we do. This is probably what I would feel most comfortable doing, as I read a TON and listen to CAL and EWTN regularly. I was hoping there may be some book/packet/guide to something like this.
Any thoughts??? Please pray for me to decide whether I am up for this challenge too!
Thanks!

Oh…keeping costs low would be helpful to consider too…as I may be doing this out of my own pocket (and I am still putting my hubby through school).
 
I don’t know what your group is like so recommendations are hard to make. Personally, I’m not much for apologetics because it’s like looking at a glass as half empty instead of half full.
But, maybe your group would like this.

One suggestion is to have sessions based on Philip King’s The Bible is for Living. If you read it along with the parts of the bible he references I think that you will have a spiritually rewarding experience.

I would also suggest that your group consider some sort of social outreach mission. This would keep the group from becoming too inward focused.

Your effort is to be commended.
 
Just reading portions of the U.S. Cathechism (the version of the Catechism prepared under the auspices of the U.S. Bishops) and discussing what you’ve read would be a great study. Unfortunately, I don’t know of a good study guide for small groups, but I’m not sure you’d really need one.

Try the Compendium of the Catechism. It is in a question/answer format.
