Review: 

This book is first divided into three categories based on age or grade level (Primary - grades 1-3; Intermediate - grades 3-5; and Advanced - grades 6-8). Each of these is subdivided into four segments based on the major parts of the Catechism of the Catholic Church:

  • "The Profession of Faith"
  • "The Celebration of the Christian Mystery"
  • "Life in Christ"
  • "Christian Prayer"

Each of these 12 sections offer as many as 25 activities, puzzles, games, skits, essays etc. All worksheets are reproducible. An excellent and cost-effective supplement to your religion curriculum.

The format is particularly nice for homeschoolers since children at different grade levels can be studying complementary materials.

A complete answer key is included in the back of the book.

Updated March 2024: The book details are for the revised second edition from 2013.
