Here is a somewhat lengthy article from the Catholic Encyclopedia about catechumens: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03430b.htm

Basically, it refers to someone who is not yet initiated into the Church, but is receiving religious education (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults, or catechesis on confirmation for children) in order to be baptized as a Catholic or Orthodox Christian.
