The Catechist Guide and accompanying resources provide high-quality, cohesive, and compact sessions designed for a parish program, while modeling the language and the way of faith formation for catechists.
- Organizes and integrates content so that each element of a session corresponds to and reinforces the central faith focus
- Offers optional scripting, using the language of the faith, which is encouraging and helpful to catechists; a new catechist will be confident that he or she can do this work
- Supports catechists in building a relationship with children over time—a relationship of trust and faith
- Precedes each session with four catechist preparation pages that give catechists the background needed to share the session's content with confidence
- Nurtures the catechist's own spirituality through prayer experiences and features that help him or her recognize God in all of life
- Includes a catechist-friendly Get-Ready Guide for session planning and a 3-Minute Retreat for the catechist's personal reflection before beginning each session
- Comes with two audio CDs for each grade level—one with Scripture stories and meditative prayers and one with music
