Making Connections

Faith, Life, & Creed provides several examples of possible teachings that might respond to the questions raised in your session. And it provides a simple, clear connecting statement that ties the experience of the catechumens and candidates directly to the teaching of the church.

Each of these forty possible doctrinal topics is correlated to the Catechism of the Catholic Church and connected to the Sundays of the liturgical year.
