I received my copies of two new and important catechetical resources: the New American Bible Revised Edition (NABRE) and YOUCAT, the new Catechism for Youth.
The NABRE includes a newly revised translation of the entire Old Testament (including the Book of Psalms) along with the 1986 edition of the New Testament.
YOUCAT is a catechism especially designed for young people, offering a contemporary explanation of the Catholic faith, with a foreward by Pope Benedict XVI.
Happy Easter!!!
The BIG day has been set: Pope Francis will canonize (raise to sainthood) two of his predecessors: Pope John Paul II and Pope John XXIII on April 27, 2014! Here are the details from Deacon Greg Kendra at The Deacon’s Bench. This will be a great opportunity for catechists to teach about sainthood, the canonization process, the papacy, and the many issues that both of these great men stood for, fought for, and spoke about.

I had the honor and privilege of doing the keynote presentation today with my friend Fr. Dom Grassi at the Chicago Catechetical Conference held at the Donald Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont! Our topic was “Living the Mass: How We Go Forth Rejoicing FROM the House of the Lord.” Of course, Fr. Dom and I drew heavily from our book, Living the Mass: How One Hour a Week Can Change Your Life. It was wonderful […]
Let’s help spread Pope Francis’s message of mercy by getting 100,000 people to order The Church of Mercy by April 25 so that it qualifies as a bestseller! To make that happen, order a copy (and get as many individuals to do the same) through Amazon.com, Barnesandnoble.com, or your local bookseller. Pope Francis has captured the world’s attention with his seemingly counterintuitive approach to leadership. In The Church of Mercy, readers get a first-hand look […]

Where can I buy the YouCat? I went to the website above and I can’t find a place to purchase it. I wouldn’t mind being able to buy both the YOUCAT and the NABRE Bible at the same place to hopefully save on shipping.
Thanks!
Hi Jenn, in that case, I recommend Amazon.
YOUCAT: http://www.amazon.com/Youcat-Cardinal-Christoph-Schonborn-editor/dp/1586175165/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1303758734&sr=1-1
NABRE: http://www.amazon.com/New-American-Bible-Revised-Paperbound/dp/1935302590/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1303758790&sr=1-1
Just got my copies also. I did not get the same version of the NABRE. The print in my version is way too small. Please let me know how you like the one you have. I may order that one. Can’t wait to really look thru YouCat but with classes winding down, First Communion, our New Life Crisis Pregnancy Auction, it could be awhile. Looking forward to what you have to say about both and also your upcoming webinar regarding your new book!!!

Hi Linda. My first glance at YOUCAT is that it looks like a good resource – nice friendly format, lots of information, engaging. I’ve yet to delve into the nuts and bolts of it however I wasn’t thrilled with how they categorized the books of the Bible (lumped the Pentateuch in with the Historical books and included Revelation as one of the catholic letters) I’ve yet to explore the NABRE as far as translation goes (and I’m no expert there anyway) however the print is fine for me in the edition I purchased. I’ll get around to adding some more detailed thoughts but I invite others to chime in with their opinions and expertise on these resources.
Thanks Joe! Why didn’t I think of Amazon! Clearly it is the end of the year…
