You can feel confident that the richness of the Sunday readings and the liturgy is reaching your youngest members. Your parish's children will respond warmly to Chris the Cat who introduces each session, and they will look forward to coming back each week. Even inexperienced catechists will feel confident with the detailed planning guide and step-by-step session plans.

• Systematic doctrine: Who are the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit?
• No textbooks to buy—blackline masters with photocopy rights
• Weekly sessions based on the Sunday readings, grounded in the liturgy
• Sunday Backgrounds provide on-going formation for the catechist
• Designed for pre-readers who are developing basic manipulative skills
• Additional features: four posters; color activity book with games, holy cards, and more, plus a resource book full of supplement ideas for crafts, activities, recipes, and prayers

Put a clear and simple guide in the hands of volunteers and they will have all the information they need to conduct a cooperative nursery/pre-school program on their own—freeing up staff time for administration and pressing pastoral needs!
