Covenant People uses the liturgy, Lectionary readings, and Church teachings as a basis to encourage spiritual development and build community among middle school youths.

Age-appropriate reflections, activities, and suggestions for hands-on
projects make faith formation interesting and dynamic for youths ages
12–14. The wide variety of activities makes this a helpful resource for
youth to understand and live the connection between the liturgy and the Lectionary readings. It also helps them to explore what it means to belong to and live as the people of God.

The detailed planning materials and step-by-step instructions will
help inexperienced catechists to quickly build confidence and expertise.
Before and after-session reflection questions will help to make the weekly sessions a rewarding faith formation experience for catechists as well.
