Catholic Catechism Classes supports learners at every stage—from strengthening the foundations of faith to the catechumenate, mystagogy, and marriage preparation—with short lessons, formative assessments, and links to Church sources. TWO IN-DEPTH GUIDED PROGRAMS • Catechumenate and Mystagogy: 26 stages from free inquiry and the Gospel to Christian initiation, mystagogy, and new life. • Catholic Marriage Preparation: 22 stages covering vocation, communication, consent, the sacrament, practical preparation, and family life. THE COMPLETE LIBRARY • 8 learning paths, 107 stages, 98 in-path assessment questions, and a separate 120-question Faith Challenge. With the app, you can: • Follow learning paths from the foundations of faith through what the Church professes, celebrates, lives, and prays. • Review with quizzes and Faith Challenge questions, including explanations and references. • Track progress, resume your next lesson, and use synced content when your connection is unstable. • View the Catholic calendar, observances, and learning reminders. • Stay connected with your class, family, and catechist when invited.
