God with Us introduces your parish’s youngest members to faith in the living God by using engaging resources that focus on the liturgy, Lectionary readings, and Church teachings.

Designed with pre-readers in mind, God with Us presents the liturgy and the Lectionary readings from each Sunday and Holy Day of Obligation, as well as their connection to Church teaching. It also reinforces learning with guided reflection and creative and dynamic activities.

Detailed planning materials and step-by-step instructions will help
inexperienced catechists to quickly build confidence and expertise.
