Growing Up Catholic offers a carefully tested and well-crafted sacramental formation process. It provides the immediate preparation for First Reconciliation, First Communion, and/or Confirmation in restored order.

Growing Up Catholic sacramental preparation is:

  • Designed to coach parents to share their faith with their children.
  • Based on handouts, which empower parents, help children learn, keep costs down, and extend faith into the household with long-lasting effects.
  • Focused on bringing faith home with at-home activities. We send families home with a household plan.
  • About loving Jesus! We want to help the children (and the parents!) fall deeper in love with Jesus, not just absorb theological knowledge.
  • Available in multiple formats: different age groups (7-9, 10-14), English & Spanish, U.S. and Commonwealth countries, and flexibility to work well in parishes, schools, homes, rural areas, and more.
  • Affordable: delivered as either an eResource that you print yourself or affordable color booklets, keeping your costs down.

When we coach young parents to become the primary ones who form their children for the sacraments, we do three big things:

  1. We evangelize and call the parents to greater faith, even if both are not Catholic.
  2. We begin a conversation about faith between the parent and child.
  3. We set the stage for a lifetime of faith.

    This is a wonderful program! It has everything already very well planned with very little energy on the catechist/volunteer! Has different options/ideas to select from.

    This free preview is just as it says - the complete lessons, parent guides and teacher guides are included, not just a few random pages. The Pastoral Centre team are putting a lot of trust in people by allowing them to download the entire course to preview for free. I’ve not found any other provider of sacramental preparation material willing to do this. Often people preparing programs need to be able to preview course material before making a decision to buy them and the Pastoral Centre has given us this opportunity which I’m very grateful for. The courses are very well done and easy to follow, especially if you’re a parent or a catechism. The lessons are informative and engaging and they include links to view short films and other activities. It’s a very well prepared course for both younger and older children, and if I had the final say over the program material in my parish I would definitely use these lessons.

    I was very impressed with the format and am looking at ways to implement in our parish program this year or next year. It is engaging yet simple to utilize. Thank you
