Designed to provide a sacramental experience, the Finding God: Our Response to God's Gifts Children's Book assists your catechists and teachers in teaching the Scripture and Tradition of the Catholic faith, while helping to build the interior life of the child. With each turn of a page, you can invite children into a truthful and beautiful experience.
The Children's Book opens in a gift-like fashion, inviting children into their faith.
  • Age-appropriate, developmentally sound sessions provide authentic expression of the Catholic faith.
  • Engaging, relevant art—mined from the richness of the Catholic tradition and commissioned from contemporary persons of faith—gives visual expression to Catholicism in a variety of formats.
  • Prayer is interwoven into each session; children have three opportunities in each session to enter into conversation with God about what they are learning. By praying from within the truths they are taught, children begin to internalize the faith message and develop a relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
  • An introduction to a saint opens each unit; saints are carefully chosen to reflect the unit theme and to provide examples of lives of faith.
  • Catholic Social Teaching, infused into every session, supports the child's development as a person for others.

  • Age-appropriate vocabulary shares the language of our faith; catechists help children express their faith and build Catholic identity.
  • The most comprehensive glossary presently offered in a children's faith formation program provides children and catechists with the language of faith with definitions in both English and Spanish.
  • The diversity of the universal Church is reflected in the presentation of saints, art, and music of many cultures, and the practices and rituals of many cultures to reveal in abundance humanity's grateful responses to God's gifts.
