YOUCAT, Study Guide

The YOUCAT Study Guide is excellent for classroom use, youth group discussions, or personal study. Written by people experienced with youth ministry and education, the YOUCAT Study Guide helps young people go even deeper into their faith using YOUCAT!

The YOUCAT Study Guide features 35 topics based aimed at helping readers get the most out of YOUCAT. The Study Guide has four main sections corresponding to the Catechism of the Catholic Church. In each section, individual topics are broken into modules. Leaders can select sections or topics as time or interest permits.

Each topic includes:

• a brief introduction (Behind YOUCAT)

• short questions on YOUCAT’s coverage of the topic (What does YOUCAT say?)

• a section on Scripture (What Does the Bible Say?)

• discussion questions based on YOUCAT (YOU Chat)

• a brief reflection on the YOUCAT material covered (YOU Reflect)

• a set of ideas for action (YOUCAT Challenge)

• space for readers to “journal” their thoughts

Each topic relates the material of YOUCAT to one of the four pillars of the Catechism―the Creed, the Sacraments, Morality, and Prayer.
