The following publications are recommended, but not required.  Extra reading is highly encouraged in order to take full advantage of the RCIA process.


Catechism of the Catholic Church   Liguori Publications: Liguori, MO,  1994 

Note:  The Catechism of the Catholic Church  has also been published in small paper back by Double Day Publishing.  The one from Liguori is easier on the eyes.

The New Question Box - Catholic Life in a New Century by John J. Dietzen - Guildhall Publishers:   Peoria, Illinois, 1997

Vatican Council II  The Conciliar and Post Conciliar Documents Ed by Austin Flannery, O.P - Costello Publishing Co:  Northport, NY  1975

Note:  The Documents of Vatican II have been published by several companies.  All publications are the same, with only small variations.

A Bible will be furnished later in the RCIA program, but if you just can't wait to study God's word, or if you want a more complete study Bible, we would suggest:

The Catholic Study Bible  Oxford University Press, Inc.:  New York, New York,  1990
