Know, live, and love your Catholic faith—and share it with future generations! This celebrated catechism for children ages 9 to 12 is the ultimate faith formation resource for families, schools, and parishes. Based on the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Totally Catholic presents the core teachings of the Catholic faith in an accessible, fun, and interactive format that provides definitions, explanations of difficult concepts, bolded key terms, pronunciation aids, questions and answers, fun facts, profiles of saints and blesseds, Scripture links, and illustrations throughout.

Includes explanations of Church teaching on contemporary societal issues as well as commentary on issues that affect children on a day-to-day basis, like cheating, plagiarism, and gossip.

Praise
In Totally Catholic! Sr. Mary Kathleen Glavich covers the tenets of the faith with an engaging writing style. Introducing each topic with a phrase from the Catechism and an overview, she then breaks it open. 'BTW' and 'Did You Know' broaden the readers' understanding and 'Brainstorm' challenges them to make connections. With 'Catholic VIPs' and 'Now Act!' Sr. Mary Kathleen puts flesh on the doctrine. In 'From My Heart' she offers the reader ways to pray the doctrine. Totally Catholic! touches the mind, heart, and will.
