Catechists are called to nurture the faith of children—
to guide, enlighten, and understand as they grow and learn about God.
Finding God delivers solid teaching support and offers practical online and
print materials for all engaged in religious education, especially teachers and catechists.
With interactive activities, lesson plans, online resources, and more,
the Finding God program will support the needs of our students
while also helping our Catechists refresh
and expand their own knowledge.
God speaks to us in many ways, including through the Sunday Scripture readings.
Loyola Press' "Sunday Connection" provides useful background and
activities for all ages to better understand the Sunday's Scripture readings,
helping you to connect the Scripture to daily life in a meaningful way.
