Handbook for Catholics – Great New Resource

Joe Paprocki Newsworthy

Just wanted to let you know about a great new resource that I had a hand in bringing to publication: Handbook for Catholics (Mary Kathleen Glavich, SND).

Nearly 15 years ago, Sr. Glavich put together a Handbook for Catholics for Loyola Press that sold very well and was very popular. A few years back, the decision was made to update Sr. Glavich’s handbook and I had the privilege of being the catechetical editor for this revised edition.

It’s a great little resource at a great little price ($3.50 each or a 10-pack for $29.95!) jam-packed with basic information about the Catholic faith (beliefs, prayers, traditions, practices, etc). It’s perfect for catechists, parents of children in RE/Catholic school, RCIA participants and sponsors, and even for junior high/teens.

Have a great weekend and I’ll “see” you Monday for the 7th and final week of our online retreat!

Wonderful story from Christian! A long time ago my wife & I were put in charge of teaching RCIA. We’d run the adult class for a couple of years, had a lot of informed, motivated Catholics. Anyway, I would teach the first RCIA class, and figured we’d start with some basics: Faith & Reason/ Fides et Ratio by JP2. We’d studied it in the adult class, no sweat. But with the RCIAers, what a disaster! […]
