A New Vision for Catechesis

Authentic catechetical renewal requires a fresh approach to help children, parents, teachers, and catechists discover their authentic Catholic identity and share in the Church’s life and mission.

The Word of Life curriculum returns to the heart of the Christian faith: Jesus Christ. Through an engaging, prayerful, and conversational approach, the Word of Life curriculum equips catechists and teachers to bring students into a life-giving encounter with Jesus, the Word of life.  

Four Golden Catechetical Threads

1. Salvation History

Proclaim God's presence in history, His plan for mankind, and our place in that plan.

2. Christian Anthropology

The true human story that answers the questions about our real identity, why we are here, and who are we called to be. Reveals the dignity of every person and our identity in Christ.

3. Heroic Virtue & Character Formation

Presents an integrated approach to virtue and living as a person of character who is transformed by grace.

4. Learning through Discipleship

Catechesis that shows why the faith matters and nurtures a deepening integration of the faith in daily life through Christian discipleship. Inspires students to live as committed disciples of Christ.

“This is why I send my kid to a Catholic school!”

An Integrated Approach to Catechesis

  • An engaging and relevant kerygmatic catechesis young learners enjoy through a blended learning model of textbook, online learning interactions, and engaging video enhancements.
  • State-of-the-art digital components allow young learners and parents to interact with dynamic faith formation materials in the classroom and at home.
  • A teach-the-teacher model equips teachers to present lessons effectively and be more deeply formed in the faith as they teach. When teachers and catechists are formed well and passionate about the content, everyone wins.
  • An authentic and comprehensive program for children and parents, providing a complete family faith formation with Word of Life materials and the expansive digital library of the Augustine Institute and Ignatius Press.
