Dear Friends in Christ,

The most important thing we can ever give the next generation is our Catholic faith. Handing on the faith is a process called catechesis. It involves the intellect, the will, the character, personality and memory, to form a

human person in the light of divine revelation. Catechesis is imparted to us first of all in the sacred liturgy:

meditating on the Word of God proclaimed to us at Mass and living the sacraments by which we participate

in the divine life. But catechesis also requires formal instruction, as well as those informal ways we learn the

faith in the domestic church.

Catholics of a certain age will remember learning the faith through the question and answer format of The

Baltimore Catechism. After Vatican II, desire for experimentation and novelty meant the abandonment of

those texts. With the doctrinal and cultural confusion of the post-conciliar period, Catholics of that genera-

tion grew up with little in terms of real catechesis. The results of what is now referred to as “the lost gen-

eration” of catechesis have been disastrous. Catholic faith and practice have been on a precipitous decline

wherever the faith was not integrally taught. Into the mix, Ignatius Press developed a religious education se-

ries called Faith and Life, which many parishes who wanted an alternative to the status quo. The series has

served us and many other places well. But I have always found it wanting in biblical and liturgical literacy,

spiritual and cultural depth; its format is dry and its pedagogy not very exciting.

For several years our team at Prince of Peace has been exploring other options. And the result of that in-

tense process of research has been the decision to adopt a new program from Sophia Institute Press, for a

significant portion of our religious education curriculum in school and RE. Please visit the website

https://sophiainstituteforteachers.org to learn more. The program is very good, and the materials for teach-

ers excellent. There are also options we are exploring for more parent involvement in the religious forma-

tion of their children, and you will be learning about that next year. Since parents are the primary educators

of their children, and they are the ones who promise at baptism to raise their children in the faith, the parish

through its school and RE religion programs can give greater support to that beautiful task by greater parental

involvement.

I am very excited about this new initiative to form our students in the Catholic faith. As school approaches

after the summer break, we will have some information sessions for families to learn more. Please feel free

to make an appointment with Angela Calabro, our Director of Catechesis and Evangelization, or Maria

Barontini, our Pastoral Associate for Children’s Catechesis. They will be able to answer all your questions and help you understand better this exciting new program!
