"In reading the "Catechism of the Catholic Church" we can perceive the wonderful unity of the mystery of God."

Pope St. John Paul II

The Catechism of the Catholic Church is a complete summary of what Catholics throughout the world believe in common. Catechism means "instruction," and it draws on the two sources of God's revelation: Scripture and Tradition. From these two sources we have the Bible, the Mass, the Sacraments, Church teachings, and the lives of the saints. Using the tradition of explaining what the Church believes (the Creed), what she celebrates (the Sacraments), what she lives (the Commandments), and what she prays (the Lord's Prayer), the Catechism of the Catholic Church offers challenges for believers and answers for all those learning about the mystery of the Catholic faith. It is a positive, coherent and contemporary map for our spiritual journey toward transformation into saints!
