ASSUMPTION CATHOLIC CHURCH

MISSION

Catechesis aims to bring about in the believer an ever more mature faith in Jesus Christ, a deeper knowledge and love of his person and message, and a firm commitment to follow him… With God’s grace, catechesis develops initial faith, nourishes the Christian life, and continually unfolds the mystery of Christ until the believer willingly becomes his disciple. - National Directory for Catechesis (USCCB)

CURRICULUM:

FAITH AND LIFE SERIES

FAITH AND LIFE SERIES: A Catechetical Series for Grades 1-8 by Ignatius Press

Why Faith and Life series?

Teachers, Cardinals, Bishops, and even the Pope! People all over the world love the Faith and Life series!

Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger (now Pope Benedict XVI) has mentioned that Faith and Life is "the best catechetical series in the German language."

Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn has this to say:

“For the past two decades, Faith and Life has proven to be an excellent series for religious instruction in schools and family catechesis in the home. I know families who use this faith series and bear witness to the excellent fruit it has brought forth. To all who wish to transmit the faith to children in schools or in the home, I recommend the Faith and Life series as a textbook of refreshing and high quality.”
