Features of the United States Catechism for Adults

* The presentation of the content lends itself to easy planning for a variety of adult faith formation situations –retreats, R.C.I.A, sacramental preparation.

* Most chapters begin with the story of a Catholic from the United States and are practical, engaging and relatable.

* The teachings engage both the positive and negative features of our culture.

* Learners are involved in the content through faith sharing discussion questions that connect faith learning to faith living.

* Each chapter concludes with brief doctrinal statements and suggestions for meditation and prayer.

* A helpful glossary at the end of the Catechism provides assistance with unfamiliar terminology.
