This Issue


Praying with Christ

During most of March, we continue our Lenten journey as we follow Jesus from his adult ministry through his entry into Jerusalem and the Triduum celebration. As one of the three penitential practices, prayer can be easily done in classroom and home settings by children and adults of all ages.

This issue of To Teach provides ideas and strategies to immerse ourselves more deeply into the prayer practices of the Church that lead us into the profound mystery of the life, death, and Resurrection of Christ.

Forming Adult Faith

"Forming Adult Faith" is a new feature of To Teach. It includes suggestions from the United States Catholic Catechism for Adults (USCCA) on how to promote ongoing faith formation among the adults in your school community.

There are three chapters from the United States Catholic Catechism for Adults that touch on the journey of faith and persevering toward Holy Week and the Easter Triduum.

Both individuals and groups—a full staff or a grade level gathering—can use the following suggestions. Most suggestions can be completed in 10-15 minutes.
