"The lesson plans for each section are wonderful and keep the teens moving."

By Katie, DRE

I just wanted to let you know that as a DRE, I have been waiting for this for Middle School for years!!! These Middle Schoolers are capable of so much and we have really been selling them short with our book series for years. This Catholic Connections is fantastic!!! The lesson plans for each section are wonderful and keep the teens moving. It is user friendly, so my volunteers don't have to be trained youth ministers to make it happen. But most of all it teaches the Catholic Faith SOLIDLY and in an engaging manner. I am so excited to try it out in the field this coming. THANK YOU!!!

"I just wanted to say NICE JOB and THANK YOU!"

By Mary, Michigan

The content and format of The Catholic Connections Handbook is clearly designed for middle school youth! It engages their curiosity and equips them to learn and live the Catholic faith….no matter what curriculum is being used in their parish or school! The Catholic Connections Handbook is a great resource for parents and Catechists – it explains the faith in terms that middle schoolers can understand and provides wonderful fun facts that bring faith to life!

It doesn't get any easier than this!

By Deborah, Massachusetts
