Totally Catholic! A Catechism for Kids and their Parents and Teachers
This celebrated catechism for children ages 8 to 10 is the ultimate faith formation resource for families, schools, and parishes. Based on the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Totally Catholic presents the core teachings of the Catholic Faith in an accessible, fun, and interactive format that provides definitions, explanations of difficult concepts, bolded key terms, pronunciation aids, questions and answers, fun facts, profiles of saints and blesseds, Scripture links, and illustrations throughout.
Totally Catholic is your ultimate resource for age-appropriate and theologically-sound ways to share the Catholic Faith with the children you love (or to brush up on the basics yourself!) Includes explanations of Church teaching on contemporary societal issues like abortion, euthanasia, and homsexuality, as well as commentary on issues that affect children on a day-to-day basis like cheating, plagiarism, and gossip.
Sr. Lisette Michaud, S.S.Ch., Director of Religious Education, St. Joseph Parish, Medway, Massachusetts
"[Totally Catholic!] mirrors and translates accurately the structure of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, with its focus on the four pillars of faith... Creative and interesting features sprinkled in... make the reading of this text more conversational and interactive in style."
Father Paul Ritt, Pastor at St. John the Evangelist Parish, North Chelmsford, Massachusetts; faculty member, The Theological Institute for the New Evangelization, Saint John's Seminary, Brighton, Massachusetts
"In Totally Catholic! Sr. Mary Kathleen Glavich covers the tenets of the faith with an engaging writing style. Introducing each topic with a phrase from the Catechism and an overview, she then breaks it open. 'BTW' and 'Did You Know' broaden the readers' understanding and 'Brainstorm' challenges them to make connections. With 'Catholic VIPs' and 'Now Act!' Sr. Mary Kathleen puts flesh on the doctrine. In 'From My Heart' she offers the reader ways to pray the doctrine. Totally Catholic! touches the mind, heart, and will."
Michele Idiart Walsh, MA, NCEA Catechetical Scholar and 2012 NCEA/NPCD Award Winner for Excellence in Catechesis
"Every family should also have a copy of this book! The four pillars are broken down in such an understandable way that parents can easily use this book to explain our faith to their children. Scripture and prayer are used throughout the text, but my favorite part is the "Now Act!", because it gives concrete ways of knowing and living the faith."
-Sr. Irene Regina, FSP
