What materials are used in the class?
The primary class materials, which will be provided in the cost of the class, are:
The New American Bible
This Bible is the one currently in use by the Roman Catholic Church in the US. All the Mass readings come from this Bible.
Catechism of the Catholic Church
The Catechism explains the fundamental teachings and dogmas of the Roman Catholic Church worldwide. There are extensive cross-indexes and links to other Church materials including the Bible.
"We Believe..." - A Survey of the Catholic Faith
This excellent book helps to explain the Catechism in highly readable terms. This is our primary text for the year. There are clear links back to specific points in the Catechism for additional depth and explanation.
Other handouts
Other materials may be provided for each class, either as pre-reading or as general support. We are constantly seeking to improve the program and provide you the information you need.
