The veteran Catholic school teachers who wrote the ten lessons included here know first-hand your needs in the classroom. That is why these lessons can stand alone, are "substitute-proof," and are designed in a flexible, modular format.

Each lesson includes background readings, full-color sacred art, discussion guides, critical thinking questions, warm-ups, and interactive activities such as games, role-plays, and hands-on extension options.

By analyzing primary sources, from the words of Christ to the writings of St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, and Popes St. John Paul II and Francis, your students will come to know: How Jesus established a personal relationship with each of us through the Sacraments of the Church
How to live a sacramental life and a life of prayer
Why Christ entrusted Scripture and the Sacraments to the Catholic Church for our salvation
How regular reception of the Sacraments is essential to becoming what God created us to be -- Holy.
How Baptism incorporates us into the Church and makes us sharers in the priesthood of Christ
Why the Sacraments are effective whether we feel it or not
Effective ways to prepare for proper reception of the Sacraments
And so much more that will help young people better understand and engage with each of the seven Sacraments of the Catholic Church
