#11 Invite in the spring – and again in the summer – and again in the fall

Have three “invitation” seasons to give parents time to think about the importance of having their children grow in the faith. Some families will register in the spring and tell their friends over the summer.

#12 Offer scholarships

If your parish charges a fee for faith formation classes, find a generous parishioner or two to fund a few scholarships. Then in your marketing materials you can say, “Please do not let inability to pay the fee stop you from participating. Contact the office if you need a scholarship.”

If you find it necessary to make a return, authorization is required. Call us at 800348-2227 and a representative will give you authorization for qualifying products. Your overstock items should be returned to us within 90 days.

Alive In Christ

SCAN TO WATCH VIDEO

GRADES 1–8. School and parish use different books. A theologically comprehensive, developmentally appropriate religion curriculum that focuses on the life, mission, and saving work of Jesus Christ. Student books have 21 chapters and present the Catholic faith in precise theological language, coupled with an emphasis on Catholic practices, images, and models of faith to build Catholic identity. They are organized around seven key themes of Catholic teaching that repeat each year with a grade-level focus. At the heart of each lesson is a unique pedagogy that mirrors the divine pedagogy—the gradual and relational way God teaches us

so that we can know him, be guided by the Holy Spirit to respond with faith and love, and accept the gift of new life in Christ. Sacred Scripture is foundational to every lesson.

Teacher manuals and catechist guides include background pages, point-of-use information, tips and strategies.

Free eBook. Purchase of a print book includes one-year access to the corresponding ebook upon request.

GRADES 1–6. School and parish use different books. Uses a Christ-centered and balanced approach to catechesis with doctrine, Scripture, tradition and spirituality. Leads children and their families to grow in their conversion to Jesus Christ, accept the demands of discipleship, decide each day to choose life in Christ, and live as active members of the Catholic Church. Student books include four new features: Disciple Power; The Church Follows Jesus; I Follow Jesus; and Looking Ahead. A comprehensive unit opener helps teachers and catechists assess students’ prior knowledge about faith concepts and helps them plan lessons that improve student retention of the material. Each chapter has

a time-saving lesson planner page that uses a three-step methodology: explore, discover, decide.

KINDERGARTEN. School and parish use the same student book, with catechist guide for parish and teacher manual for school. GRADES 1–6. School and parish use different books. Each grade level includes four 8-page Catholic Identity Retreats. Each retreat is based on one of the four pillars of the Catechism and can be presented in one class period.

Retreats can also be extended into a longer period of time.

These are not lessons, rather they are designed to inspire

children and to give them an opportunity to encounter Christ in Scripture and in Catholic prayer. Catechist guides and teacher manuals from the older Project Disciple edition work with this edition, but need the new leader guide component. Assessments, review and resource books, family book/home lesson plans, and music CDs from the Project Disciple edition are also used with the Catholic Identity edi(©2015) tion.

A Family of Faith

GRADES K–8. A parish-based program that catechizes the entire family. This program is designed to be used by parishes as an alternative to classroom religious education programs. Parental involvement in the faith-life of their child is the most important element in ensuring that a child develops into a practicing Christian. Family of Faith was created to meet the demand among parishes who recognize that families are disengaging from the faith. Even many parents who send their children to parish religious education programs struggle to create an authentic Catholic family in the home. Provides an easy-to-use solution to catechizing the whole family and helping parents lead their children.

The program follows a four-year cycle: one pillar of the Catechism is covered each year from September through May. Each year is self-contained so families may join at any time in the cycle. The program is flexible and can be tailored to meet the needs of a particular parish.

The Bible Timeline 2019

Using a combination of home study, small group discussion, commentary and lectures from seasoned Scripture scholars and teachers on DVD, these Bible studies help people dig into God’s Word and make it their own. By working through the lesson at home, readers are given the background for an informed reading of the Bible. They are drawn into the text and discover the literal sense of the reading for themselves, and then consider it in light of the teachings of the Catholic Church and in the greater Biblical context. Following this, small group discussion brings in different perspectives and reinforces what people have learned. This prepares participants for the lecture on DVD which wraps up the lesson and

takes people a step further into the spiritual sense of Scripture and how it applies to their lives.

Families learn and live the Faith together A Family of Faith provides your parish with a proven way to develop strong Catholic families who live their faith joyfully. A Family of Faith is easy to use and will help to strengthen your parish community because...

Children won’t simply learn the Faith; they’ll live it.

Parents learn how to model Christian life and teach their children as Christ taught us.

The program teaches the entire Catechism over a fouryear cycle. As a result, Mass attendance increases as families deepen their commitment to the Faith.

Sophia Institute staff offer personalized assistance to transition from classroom to family-based teaching.

For pricing, see page

Flexible Models to Support Family Formation Meets the needs of your community in a variety of ways! Parents learn and practice their faith so they can effectively teach their children.

12 ways to increase enrollment IN YOUR FAITH FORMATION PROGRAM

Growing your enrollment is all about getting the word out. Developing a multifaceted marketing effort with signs, posters, attractive flyers, information sessions and compelling announcements before or after Mass will take some time but if you can implement just a few of the ideas presented below (and the Lord blesses the effort) you will see positive results this fall.

#1 Host information sessions

Set up two or three parent information sessions immediately after Mass or in the evening to help parents understand the benefits of enrolling their children. Distribute the schedule of classes and any other information you have about what people should expect from the program. Have one or two current students speak about how their faith as grown because of participating. If you opt for an evening session, provide childcare if possible.

#2 Make announcements

Write a heart-felt appeal that can be delivered by a parent or one of your older students before or after Mass that speaks to the benefit of faith formation and invites the younger children to participate.

#3 Set up an information table in highvisibility location: Create an attractive display that includes copies of the students’ work, informational materials, copies of the religion textbooks, and handouts with registration information. A tri-fold display board with photographs will encourage people to stop by. Ideally you would have parents and students staff the table and answer questions.

#4 Create compelling bulletin inserts

ComCenter has designed some graphics that you can download for free that will make your bulletin insert eye-catching. www.comcenter.com/graphics/

152

#5 Make your registration form as simple as possible: Review your form periodically. If you can

remove some of the hurdles to registration it stands to reason that more people will sign up.

#6 Use online registration

Create a simple online registration form that makes it easy to enroll. ComCenter has created a free tutorial that shows you how to do this yourself, and provides some nice graphics to make your form attractive. www.comcenter.com/forms/

#7 Keep inviting students the first few weeks of classes: Use the first few classes to encourage

parents and students - “There is still time for you to invite your friends to join us.” Having to order a few extra books because your class was bigger than you expected is a nice problem to have.

#8 Make observance of Catechetical Sunday (9/18/22) a big deal!

“Catechetical Sunday is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the role that each baptized person plays in handing on the faith and being a witness to the Gospel. Catechetical Sunday is an opportunity for all to rededicate themselves to this mission as a community of faith.” – USCCB website

“Thank you for all you do to make life easier for all of us.”

#11 Invite in the spring – and again in the summer – and again in the fall

Have three “invitation” seasons to give parents time to think about the importance of having their children grow in the faith. Some families will register in the spring and tell their friends over the summer.

#12 Offer scholarships

If your parish charges a fee for faith formation classes, find a generous parishioner or two to fund a few scholarships. Then in your marketing materials you can say, “Please do not let inability to pay the fee stop you from participating. Contact the office if you need a scholarship.”

If you find it necessary to make a return, authorization is required. Call us at 800348-2227 and a representative will give you authorization for qualifying products. Your overstock items should be returned to us within 90 days.
