Written by the Sisters of Notre Dame, the new 2009 edition of Christ Our Life, grades 1-8, continues to provide the thorough foundation of our Catholic faith that the series has been known for. In this new edition we’ve paid special attention to helping children turn their learned faith into a lived faith.

Program features

• Original spiral curriculum ensures consistent progress and development
• Faith content is developed throughout with Scripture integrated into each lesson
• Four pillars of the Church—Creed, Sacraments, Commandments, and Prayer—are integrated
• Abundant prayer opportunities invite personal and communal prayer
• Catholic Social Teaching connects with real-life faith

A copy of the Catholic Prayer for Catholic Families is included with each Student Book allowing parents the convenience of having traditional prayers and suggestions for everyday prayer in one handy book.

Christ Our Life is found to be in conformity with the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

Since their founding in 1850, the Sisters of Notre Dame have embraced religious faith formation and identity as part of their congregation’s ministry. They authored Christ Our Life to extend theirr commitment to pass on the Catholic faith and through this new edition continue to provide solid doctrine, scripture, and tradition—with Jesus as the heart of every lesson.

The 2009 edition of Christ Our Life, grades 1–8, offers the original spiral curriculum first developed in 1973—a model that others imitate because it insures that fundamentals of our faith are taught and reinforced at all grades. Students and teachers will benefit from the extensive teacher preparation and resources. Christ Our Life nurtures catechists’ own faith as they prepare their lessons using in-depth preparation pages that precede every lesson.
