A Year with the Catechism 365 Day Reading Plan

A bestseller since its release, the Catechism of the Catholic Church is a fantastic resource for what we believe and why. It has helped Catholics have a greater understanding of the faith. The Catechism stands, in the words of Pope John Paul II, as “a sure norm for teaching the faith” and an “authentic reference text.”
