Journey of Faith for Children
introduces children to the Catholic faith in a way that’s easy for them to understand, using an engaging pastoral approach. Based on the ever-popular and long-running adult Christian initiation program from Liguori Publications,
provides a solid catechetical foundation. The warm and engaging style of the Redemptorists speaks to children about faith topics in a way that starts them on a lifelong journey of knowing and loving Jesus.
The lessons in
Journey of Faith for Children, Enlightenment
guide children through a period of self-reflection and preparation for the sacraments. Children learn about God’s mercy and forgiveness, through an introduction to the scrutinies, and be encouraged to participate in the Lenten practices of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Children will also participate in a group Lenten retreat, an opportunity for them to spend some quiet time with themselves and God before becoming fully initiated into the Church..
Children learn at their own pace. They learn by asking questions and by doing. That’s why we’ve combined the lessons with a variety of engaging activities to appeal to a variety of learners in a way that’s flexible enough for you to modify to your unique needs. Each lesson also includes a colorful animated drawing and ongoing story that captures children’s attention and enables them to see their own faith journey mirrored in the fictional adventures of Mrs. Evans and her RCIA class.
