Strengthen Parish Faith Formation with Bilingual Resources for Children
Loyola Press's Knowing Our Catholic Faith is a bilingual, three-level supplemental workbook series designed to help Parish Directors of Religious Education (DREs), catechists, and family members introduce, review, and share the beliefs and traditions of the Catholic faith with children aged 5–10. Each workbook is divided into four sections that mirror the Catechism of the Catholic Church: Our Catholic Beliefs, Our Catholic Celebrations, We Live Our Life in Christ, and We Catholics Pray. These resources are ideal for building Catholic identity and literacy, providing supplemental activities, and offering "catch-up" catechesis when children need additional review or introduction to the basics.
