Welcome to the official mobile app of The Catholic Shepherd Catechism Ministry. The Catholic Shepherd Catechism Ministry is an independent ministry that aims to Inspire, Encourage, and Provide solid Catholic Doctrine for the sake of building up the True Church of Jesus Christ, His Holy Catholic, and Apostolic Church. “Ignorance of scripture is ignorance of Christ,” says Saint Jerome. In order to spread the word of Christ as a Roman Catholic it is essential that one knows their faith and what the Church teaches, has taught, and will always teach. Therefore, The Catholic Shepherd encourages scripture reading and the study of the Catechism of The Catholic Church which echoes back what we believe and have always believed. Lastly, it is vital that we follow Holy, Sacred Tradition and the Magisterium which has preserved the Truth of the Teachings of Jesus Christ.
