The Faith and Life Family Guide, Grades 5-8

Faith and Life:  A Catechetical Guide for Grades One Through Eight ~ Family Guide

As we prepare for the Year of Faith (Oct 2012 – Nov 2013) proclaimed by Pope Benedict XVI, a wonderful new tool for Faith and Life users to promote parental involvement in their children's faith formation is introduced.  The new Family Guide(Vol A – Grades 1-4; Vol B – Grades 5-8) is an attractive four color volume that engages parents weekly in the faith formation of their children. These splendid volumes provide parents with the information and format they need to spend time sharing their faith with their children. This is accomplished through prayer, study, and life application of the main points of the week's lessons in the Faith and Life catechetical series. The Family Guide is written for both school and parish programs.

The easy to follow, simple format of the new Family Guide, allows any parent to be quickly and immediately involved in their children's religious education on a consistent basis. With student textbook references and cross referencing of the main lesson points to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the new Family Guide also allows parents to deepen their own understanding of the essential elements of faith being taught.

Simply a wonderful and ready tool for implementing the Pope's desire during the Year of Faith! Let this be an occasion for students and parents to deepen their knowledge and understanding of the Catholic faith together so that all will be led to encounter Christ in a deeper way this year.
