Our Religion program is also an award winner Faith First Best Educational Books by the Catholic Press Association.

From the award citation: This series for grades kindergarten through junior high (is) the spiral approach to learning the Catholic faith. Rather than one subject, each pillar of the Catechism is developed on every grade level in age appropriate ways.

The text is well-written, the graphics are pleasing to the eye, (and) the additional resources such as assessment tools and on-line support are most welcome. Chapter lesson plans make it easy for first-time parents (and) catechists.
