Series Overview

From Catechesi Tradendae

“The definitive aim of catechesis is to put people not only in touch but in communion, in intimacy, with Jesus Christ.”

The Formed in Christ series seeks to fulfill that call, fostering intimacy with Christ through dynamic, faithful content. Each text is complemented by a comprehensive workbook that equips instructors with tests and guided activities, along with a pastoral review video for each unit to reinforce mastery.
