  • "Come with me," (Matthew 4:19). Jesus said this to his first disciples, and it is still his message to us today. Following Jesus is at the heart of being Catholic. Even though following Jesus isn't always easy, it's the most fulfilling and meaningful way to live life.





    Whether middle schoolers encounter this book as part of the Catholic Connections program in faith formation or pick it up out of curiosity, The Catholic Connections Handbook for Middle Schoolers offers great guidance and aims to help young teens learn about all the central aspects of the Catholic faith, including God, revelation, faith, Jesus the Christ, the Holy Spirit, the Church, liturgy and sacraments, Christian morality and justice, and prayer.

    The book contains many special features and sidebars, including
    • Live It!: suggestions for putting faith into action
    • Pray It!: short, inspiring prayers
    • Did You Know?: additional information about selected topics
    • Fun Facts: brief notes designed to inform and amuse
    • Illustrations: 22 4-color illustrations of people of faith
    • People of Faith: profiles of inspiring, faith-filled people
    • Think About It!: questions to ponder or discuss with friends and family
    • Liturgy Connections: articles that show the relationship between Catholic beliefs and worship
    • Looking Back: insights from history
    PLUS
