Living Catholic: An Overview
Ignatius Press collaborates with My Catholic Faith Delivered on a number of projects, including the online version of the Faith and Life catechism series for young people. For this reason we want to alert our friends to the following initiative.
My Catholic Faith Delivered is partnering with his Eminence Cardinal Wuerl of the Archdiocese of Washington, Father Mitch Pacwa and EWTN to provide the online Living Catholic program. This interactive experience is a short foundational course designed to reach Catholics looking to learn or re-learn the beautiful truths of the Catholic faith which we are all called to share as part of the new evangelization. It is a great diocesan response to the Holy Father’s call for the Year of Faith!
The content is based on the Four Pillars of the Catechism and has themes of prayer, parish life and evangelization interwoven throughout. The course can be used parish-wide, individually, or in a small group setting. The My Catholic Faith Delivered system tracks participant learning, answers and usage. The course goes live, October 1st , 2012.
