Faith and Life Series Book 1 Parish Catechist Manual Our Heavenly Father

The Parish Catechist Manual is designed specifically for implementing the Faith and Life Series into a teachable weekly lesson of 60-90 minutes in length.  Each chapter of the Student Text is rendered in one lesson and the catechist, whether experienced or a parent without experience, is given all the tools and instructions needed to bring out the main elements of the chapter. 

Designed specifically with the parish catechist in mind.

The Faith and Life Third Edition series is a comprehensive catechetical series for Grades 1-8.  It combines a solid doctrinal text with a scriptural presentation enhanced by beautiful classical and original artwork.  Based on the story of Salvation History, each grade level speaks of the historical story of God's love to lead the student to encounter Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

Using the time-tested ecclesial methodology and spiral development of catechesis, the series has been updated and enhanced over the years into both a student and teacher friendly, comprehensive format. There are separate instructor manuals for school and parish settings but the same student text.  For a comprehensive overview of the series, a full scope and sequence, and more sample downloads, please visit the Faith and Life series website.
