Religious Education
The mission of any Catholic school and parish religious education program is to hand on our Catholic faith to the young people entrusted to our care. An effective program instills virtue not just in instruction but also by modeling and providing reinforcing activities to strengthen religious instruction. This publication is designed to assist administrators, teachers and catechists in deepening their understanding about virtue and how they can renew their calling as builders of faith. This book is for administrators, teachers and catechists in Adult Faith Formation.

Product Description
Though the Greek alphabet is similar to our English alphabet, it is also different enough to be a major impediment to the study of Greek. Delving into the Greek grammar and learning the alphabet at the same time is overwhelming for most everyone. Give yourself the time to master the Greek letters and become comfortable with them before you plunge into Greek. Memoria Press’ Greek Alphabet program is a tour of the Greek letters, their formation, and sounds. A page is devoted to each letter and includes a letter diagram with arrows showing proper formation, printing lines showing placement of letters above and below the lines, letters to trace and copy, interesting facts and hints to help remember the letter’s sound, and questions. Each lesson consists of three letters, a review page, and a quiz.
A second unit includes practice in copying and sounding out Greek words, diphthongs, syllables, accent names, iota subscript, and breathing marks. By the end of this course, you will be ready to tackle the Greek grammar in Elementary Greekor First Form Greek.
The Student Workbook contains exercises and quizzes for the student to complete. The answers to these exercises are provided in the Teacher Key (sold separately).
Supplemental Greek Desk Charts and Wall Charts are also available.

Children of varying ages and states of faith formation undergo a variety of paths to Christian initiation. This book is an invaluable resource for initiation coordinators, catechists, and directors of religious education as they prepare children and their families to undertake their journeys of faith.
Author Rita Burns Senseman shares the Church’s wisdom concerning the vision of children’s initiation found in the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA). You will find parish-tested models and sample sessions; appendixes on how to prepare and lead child catechesis, and how to celebrate the liturgical rites; answers to frequently asked questions; and a glossary of terms.
This book has been revised according to the new translation of the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA).
The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) is the Church’s ritual for welcoming and forming adults and children of catechetical age in the way of Jesus as it is lived in the Roman Catholic tradition. In this resource, Fr. Ronald J. Lewinksi provides a basic and thorough introduction to the Church’s vision for the process of Christian initiation, guiding initiation ministers through the various rituals and steps of the OCIA through the lens of conversion, evangelization, and discipleship. This book is an excellent resource for new and experienced initiation ministers as well as for those who seek a deeper understanding of how the Church welcomes and initiates adult Catholic Christians. This revised edition has been updated to reflect the new translation of the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults.
The new translation of the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) was recently approved by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and confirmed by the Apostolic See.
LTP’s study edition of the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults includes the full texts of the rite: introductions, National Statutes, ritual texts, chants, and appendixes. Printed in the same dimensions as our ritual edition, this paperback version of the rite is durable and flexible for ongoing personal study, coursework, reference, and liturgical preparation. As a study and preparation tool, this resource is essential for priests, deacons, undergraduate and graduate theology, liturgy and ministry students, catechists, Christian initiation team members, and those who prepare the liturgy. Margin lines and ritual outlines are provided as a visual tool for recording notes and observations and for referencing the parts of the liturgical rites.
The new translation may begin to be used on the First Sunday of Advent, December 1, 2024. The mandatory use date is Ash Wednesday, March 5, 2025.
Positive Soul Formation is designed to be a versatile took, a common thread to unite home and school in the soulful formation of children.

Product Description
Are you looking for a gentle introduction to Latin and a course that prepares your young student for a more advanced study of the language? Prima Latina is specifically designed for students and teachers with no Latin background.
This course was developed for children in 1st-4th grades who are still becoming familiar with English grammar and wish to learn Latin at a slower pace and learn English grammar in the process. Its goal is to teach and reinforce an understanding of the basic parts of speech while introducing Latin. It benefits the student by teaching him half of the vocabulary in Latina Christiana and grounding him in the fundamental concepts of English grammar, the key to Latin study.
The grammar lessons are set forth in a form appropriate for primary grades. The review lessons that follow each unit provide the consistent review needed to master Latin. With clear explanations and easy-to-read lessons in a two-color format, Prima Latina is perfect for those teachers and parents who would like to start their students on an early study of Christian Latin.
