She’s got a Morman and Baptist background. At our first session today, she was LOST (it was on Scripture and Tradition). She is really uncatechized. She did not bond at all with the sponsor chosen for her (which I thought was a mismatch from the start but we did not have anyone else to choose).
She called me after class (I am on the teaching team and have been working with her and her husband on annulment issues) and was really upset with her sponsor and her complete lack of understanding what was taught today. I called our leader and we agreed that, in spite of my being on the team, I should be her sponsor as I am willing to spend extra time with her and answer the many questions she has already. Her husband was raised Catholic, they’ve both had other marriages and it’s a blended family of 5 kids, all of which have now been baptized. BUT, she doesn’t know anything and she wants to also help her children!
Where do I start? Our text is “This is Our Faith” but it is lacking for one who is so uncatechized. Other than the Gospel of Matthew and “Where We Got the Bible,” I need recommendations on where to get her started. Oh, and I do have the Baltimore catechism to give her too. Thanks much.
