Discover! Finding Faith in Life, K-5 — Saint Mary’s Press

Parish Edition

Discover! Finding Faith in Life immerses children in Scripture from Day 1. Scripture stories are central. In Kindergarten, children use a colorful Bible story booklet, designed just for their age level! The Catholic Children’s Bible becomes the core text in Grades 1–5, with folders and activity books for each lesson. You know the power of every child using Scripture at the heart of their faith formation! Meaningful activities to infuse joy, spark curiosity, and create memorable learning.

Each grade level offers an area of focus, while at the same time spiraling core concepts of the Catholic Church to build on foundational understandings and deepen meaning. Grades K-5 are structured with four units, each with five chapters equaling 20 chapters per grade level.

Each chapter is anchored to a Scripture story with corresponding lesson goals and Catechism references. This structure provides a clear focus for each chapter, so students walk away with a full understanding of the content.

Flexible, Discover! includes online lessons to supplement gathered sessions or as an at-home resource to complete chapter learning. Family Pages connect families to their child’s faith formation while the Home Guides provide a straightforward plan to help children learn key content at home.

Catechists, no matter their experience level, can quickly feel comfortable leading children with easy-to-follow guided lessons. Active learning activities engage children and core teaching adds deeper layers of meaning as catechists unpack the activity with their classes.

Each child receives in his or her own Discover! kit:

  • 20 core activity + 8 Liturgical books and folders
  • Free access to online lessons for children in Grades 1-5 to use at home
  • The Catholic Children's Bible
  • A backpack so they can easily pack their materials to bring home and share with their families.

If the students in your class already have their own copies of The Catholic Children's Bible, choose the "no Bible" Discover Kit option.

Saint Mary's Press digital activation form. This can be completed and returned to Saint Mary's if and when program administrators or catechists want access to the online course. Perfect for programs that have to switch to at-home learning on short notice.

Discover! Finding Faith in Life (©2020) has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

Free digital resources include printable handouts, links to videos, music and home guides for all grades. No password required.
