​

The transformation of faith formation structures is central to our mission. We have found that transitioning structures and approaches can be difficult without first hand experience. Mysterion is designed to lead small cohorts through a personal experience of the catechumenal process. Teams will experience the "what" through the use of Pathways materials and study the "why" drawn primarily from the new Directory for Catechesis. With a mix of in person and virtual experiences, we hope for this to be accessible to many teams who would like to discover a new way forward. Teams will receive a rich formation in the faith and be equipped to form others in the catechumenal process.
