What does the Course Cover?
Its theological basis is a four part training plan for young people, comprising: participation in the course, Sunday Mass, regular prayer, and Bible reading.

Why Did Jesus Have to Die? 6. The Comeback of Jesus ...or the Story of the Resurrection 7. In Search of the Holy Spirit 8. Prayer—Staying in Touch with the Living God 9. The Church— a Home for You & Me 10. Eucharist—the Generosity of God 11. Update! Confession! 12. What Happens in Confirmation?
YouCat Confirmation Handbook Each of the twelve topics has an introduction providing the theological background to the lesson followed by a choice of multi level lesson plans to suit your group’s age and ability – each accompanied with a summary of important theological points. A range of materials for each lesson is also available at the end of each chapter.

The CTS exists to promote knowledge and practice of the Catholic faith among Catholics and non-Catholics, the wider Christian community and general enquirers, by publishing and disseminating Catholic publications at affordable prices. We are constantly receiving feedback from people who have experienced conversions, returned to the Church or who have been helped to grow deeper in their faith and be better informed as a result of reading CTS booklets.
We have been evangelising in this way since 1868, historically through titles such as A Simple Prayer Book and the Penny Catechism. In more recent times we have been continuing that Mission by publishing The CTS New Catholic Bible and the new English translation of the Roman Missal for England, Wales, Scotland and Australia, as well as numerous booklets on subjects across the wide and wonderful breadth of the Catholic Faith.
If you would like to help us in our mission to evangelise, please e-mail: [email protected]
