Series Overview

Since 1885, the catechism commissioned by the Third Council of Baltimore has formed generations in the truths of the Faith. Its easy to read question and answer format combines doctrine with Scripture and practical application. The renewed interest in the Baltimore Catechism reflects a clear need for direct teaching that helps Catholics of all ages appreciate, practice, and defend Church teaching.

Teachers gain an invaluable tool for sacramental preparation and daily discipleship. Students receive a friendly, authoritative guide to authentic Catholicism. This set includes TAN's four volumes with updated typesetting, fresh covers, larger format, quality bindings, and the same trusted content.
