Synopsis:

Faith Fusion, Elementary Edition brings the Catholic Faith to life in words and images, and provides a complete review of the Catechism of the Catholic Church for students in grades 3 through 5. At the heart of every lesson is a clear and consistent focus on Scripture and Tradition, connected to the students' lives through prayer, reflections, activities, and stories of faith lived in the example of saints and other holy people. The students' learning in every lesson is further enriched through special features that deepen their knowledge of the faith and their familiarity with Scripture, and strengthen their relationship with Christ and their Catholic identity.

Faith Fusion, Elementary Edition is the perfect resource for students in grades 3 through 5 who have had no prior catechesis, have a gap in their faith formation, or are a part of a parish's RCIA adapted for children.
