Connect: Bringing Faith to Life — Saint Mary’s Press

Grades 6-8. Connect! Bringing Faith to Life is a 3-year interactive program that presents the core teachings of the Catholic faith to young people (sixth, seventh and eighth graders) in a way that helps them connect learning with living. Active, engaging lessons encourage honest reflection and meaning-making. Using an accompaniment model of forming young people in the faith, this program meets them where they are and makes important, relevant connections that bring faith to life. Each year the program explores the four doctrinal pillars of the Catholic faith--the Creed, Liturgy and Sacraments, Christian Morality and Justice, and Prayer. Within this framework, the program also offers chapters that are dedicated to a solid understanding of the Bible. One student book for a 3-year program! Purchase of print book includes eLearning lessons for all three years. (©2022)
