The Creed A Catechist Guide.  Janet Schaeffler, OP. Twenty Third Publications, 2014.  To teach the Creed well, catechists need a theological and personal understanding of it. This resource can provide both. Rooted in Scripture and Church teaching, each session addresses one statement of the Creed and offers a wealth of information, including historical and biblical background, plus reflection questions, meditations, prayers, and activity ideas. Perfect for catechists, RCIA and adult faith formation leaders, or anyone seeking a deeper understanding of core Catholic beliefs and ways to integrate them into daily living.
Catholic Update Guide to the Catechism of the Catholic Church.  Franciscan Media, 2012.   Drawing on the trusted and popular Catholic Update newsletter, the Catholic Update Guide to the Catechism of the Catholic Church will help you understand the history of catechisms in the Catholic Church, and why Pope John Paul II decided to undertake a revision of the Roman Catechism, which had stood as a systematic presentation of the truths of Catholicism since 1566.
The Great Mysteries.  Greeley, Andrew M.  Franciscan Media, 2005. (AudioBook) In Greeley's vision, God is an agent of life and life to the full...Greeley interprets Christianity as the proclamation of light in the midst of darkness, final victory after many losses, life trumping death. What he sees in all Christian doctrine...is God's exuberant, childlike, irrepressible 'Yes'.
I Believe: The Promise of the Creed.  Pope Francis, Orbis Books, 2016.  Drawn from his writings, interviews, and homilies, I Believe provides an intimate window on the Pope’s personal faith, and an incomparable introduction to the gospel. Organized around the principle themes of the Apostles' Creed, these short readings make it clear that the Creed is more than a list of dogmatic propositions; it is an invitation to encounter the living God in the deepest place in our hearts. And that encounter inspires us to action: to give witness, to practice greater charity, to live in the truth. The Pope’s words are also a challenge—to meet the God of surprises, who makes all things new, who accompanies us on our journey.

Being Catholic: Creed.  Oblate Media & Communication, 2009. (DVD).  This program provides the fundamentals of our Catholic faith in four concise, engaging, and informative segments, based on the four pillars of the catechism. It will allow young people who have missed out on religious education the chance to "catch up" with their peers and prepare for sacraments.


"Our profession of faith begins with God, for God is the First and the Last, the beginning and the end of everything. The Credo begins with God the Father, for the Father is the first divine person of the Most Holy Trinity; our Creed begins with the creation of heaven and earth, for creation is the beginning and the foundation of all God's works."
