Sessions & Handouts for Exploring the Catholic Faith

"The Catholic Way achieves the perfect balance between formation and information. Each session opens with matters of the heart: prayer, faith sharing, and reflection. And each also includes matters of the mind: our rich Catholic history, tradition, and beliefs. It is shaped by the liturgical calendar of the Church. I'd like to put this resource into the hands of every director of faith formation in the Church—for confirmation, adult enrichment, and RCIA. Wonderful!" —BILL HUEBSCH, author of Our Catholic Life

The Catholic Way takes a down-to-earth, direct approach that will engage everyone from the young adult seeker to a life-long committed Catholic. It gives you everything you need to lead an engaging group experience: background information, step-by-step instructions, talking points, discussion questions, and handouts to send home.

Introduction to the Bible

This resource gives you material to offer a faith formation session and/or handouts. It includes:

  • A leader guide for offering a short prayer session based on Lectio Divina.
