Growing Up Catholic Faith Stories

A whole family catechetical series for adults, children, and teens for at-home formation and/or facilitated parish sessions. The story-based approach focuses on the core of our Catholic faith and coaching parents to share their faith with their children.

Can be used for intergenerational family catechesis, children’s catechumenate, or catch-up catechesis.

Organized into three years, each focused on a different set of stories, with 15 sessions per year.

Use as facilitated parish sessions, at-home sessions, or the recommended hybrid parish/home model.

Sessions are based around color family booklets, with editions for young children or ages 11-14. Either print your own ($6/child) OR purchase copies ($12/child).

Leader documents ($12) include facilitator guides for six in-parish sessions, family retreat guides, leader guide, and more.

Extra features specifically for children's catechumenate.

Spanish language editions available: both bilingual (Spanish parent/English child) and all-Spanish.

Commonwealth English editions available for the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and other Commonwealth countries.

American English edition has an imprimatur from Michael C. Barber, SJ, Bishop of Oakland.
