God Is Calling: Leader's Guide: Leader's Guide

This Leader's Guide offers an overview of the material and programs that are available to you in the series "God Is Calling." It also includes the theological, pedagogical and catechetical underpinning of the series, as well as practical help in introducing and facilitating the program in your parish. There is a separate section for each of the programs in which the series can be used, as well as alternative suggestions for each program.

The series "God Is Calling" is primarily intended to be an intergenerational catechetical series. Its focus is centered on adults and teen faith development as well as that of children. It can be used as a family series in the broadest parochial sense of the word family. It can also be used as a resource for children and adolescents who are part of the catechumenate process. Finally, the series is an excellent resource for families who are just returning to the Church. It is a catch-up catechesis at its best. It allows young people to join in the regular parish catechetical program while at home they listen to and reflect on many of the stories that make up the foundation of what they are learning at the parish. 151 pages.
