“The Catechism in a Year Companion”, Volume I, gives Catholics a new way to immerse themselves in the teachings of the Catholic Church.
To the delight of its large listening audience, Ascension has released The Catechism in a Year Companion, Volume I, an in-depth companion for Catholics who want to dig deeply into the text of the Catechism while listening to the Catechism in a Year (with Fr. Mike Schmitz), and seek to live out the teachings of the Church vibrantly.
Based on the podcast episodes by Fr. Mike Schmitz, with contributions from Ann Koshute and Dr. Petroc Willey, Professor of Theology and Catechetics at Franciscan University of Steubenville, the book gives readers a resource that provides even deeper insight into days 1–120 of The Catechism in a Year.
The Catechism in a Year Companion, Volume I features daily reflections on the podcast episodes, transcripts of Fr. Mike’s prayers, and beautiful graphics that help listeners dive even deeper into The Catechism in a Year. It also includes an introduction and review of each section of the Catechism that immerses readers in the reality of the Church’s teachings.
Fr. Mike encourages Companion readers: “As you go through this first volume of the Catechism in a Year Companion, keep in mind that what you are listening to is the result of the Gospel being proclaimed for two millennia to people just like you. You are in good company. All who have gone before us were called to a conversion of heart, to love God with their whole heart, mind, soul, and strength; they were called to be saints—and so are you.”
The Catechism in a Year Companion is the perfect addition to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Ascension Edition. This pairing lays the teachings of the Church in front of readers in a beautiful and easy-to-read format, making Church teaching applicable and easy to understand.
The Catechism in a Year Companion, Volume I Is available in paperback and e-book format at ascensionpress.com.
