Catholic Connections — Saint Mary’s Press

A faith formation program that introduces young adolescents to Jesus Christ in a new way and inspires them to follow him. Fosters the faith of young adolescents by helping them to make connections between the Catholic faith and everyday life. Helps young people to strengthen their connection to the faith community. Catholic Connections aims to strengthen the Catholic identity of students in grades 6 through 8 and inspires them to participate more fully in the Church's mission. Helps them recognize that it is the power of the Holy Spirit that has united God's people in love and that continues to be a transforming presence. Uses an active, hands-on approach to religious education. Catechist Guides from the first edition ©2009 are still available for parishes using the first edition Catholic Connections Handbooks.

The Catholic Connections Handbook for Middle Schoolers (©2014) has been found in conformity with the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
