- Among Us! is a Scripture-based youth ministry series which has three sets, each consisting of nine individual topics. The Identity set is intended to kick off the series and allow the youth to build a community of trust in which they can feel comfortable sharing their struggles. Scripture is used to guide the discussion.
The lifestyle set follows Identity and is intended for a group that is used to sharing. It gets to the heart of real issues that today's youth are dealing with, and offers Scripture to direct them.
The Scripture set is the last of the series and offers a more detailed understanding of the Scripture. The discussion, however, still remains focused on the youth.
- Using the principles of liturgical catechesis, these Baptism, Eucharist and Reconciliation programs invite the whole community to engage in a child's sacramental preparation.

- A program that provides students with catechesis that is content-centered, liturgical and connected to the lectionary. It is designed to be used in a program of whole community catechesis. The Enhanced edition (©2009) includes these new elements: a more complete overall scope and sequence, a comprehensive Catholic social teaching component and additional prayers in each chapter.
- The Crossroads program is built upon three principal goals:
1. To provide a series of courses that takes into account the interests, needs, limits, and capacities of adolescents.
2. To provide a program designed specifically for the varied religious education structures, allowing for great flexibility without sacrificing scope or depth of content.
3. To provide a realistic approach that will ensure effective parental involvement in the religious education of youth.
- Growing in Love is based on seven key themes of Catholic education in relationships, family life, and human sexuality. All seven themes are taught at each level of the program, focused through the lens of one particular age-appropriate theme.
- The young person is the starting point of adolescent catechesis. He or she has a story to tell, hopes and aspirations to be encouraged, and experiences to share. Therefore Living Our Faith meets young adolescents where they are, with materials that honor their experience and invite them to grow in their faith.
Each of the six titles in the Living Our Faith series consists of ten chapters and includes a Student Text and a Leader's Guide.
The Student Text incorporates the following features:
Opening the Word
Provides a relevant Scripture passage pertaining to the chapter.
- The intention of this seasonal resource is to assist the catechist in leading the students, not only in a celebration of liturgical prayer resplendent with the use of full and robust symbols
associated with the seasons, but also in facilitating the goal of liturgy, which is to invite
transformation in the lives of those who celebrate it. The Church teaches that the seasons of the year highlight the mission of Christ specific to each season. The liturgies of the liturgical seasons invite reflection on the mystery of Christ within the prism of the themes inherent in each season.
- Sharing God's Story is a religious education program designed for 3, 4, and 5-year-olds. In each session, children are invited to explore Bible stories in fun and active ways. Engaging activities help children and leaders make connections between the Bible stories and daily life.
Ideal for school and parish programs, the 50-minute sessions are flexible enough to conform to any time schedule. The Exploring the Story section presents the core of the lesson, and the Enjoying the Experience section offers a variety of activities to choose from to create a session that fits the time frame you have.
- Walking by Faith is a comprehensive basal religious education program designed to help young people experience their Catholic identity, integrate their Catholic values, and express their Catholic beliefs.
