Faith Foundations
A sourcebook of ideas and materials that OCIA group leaders can draw on, alongside other material, to build a program that suits their parish and their group.
It is also suitable for self study: each topic stands on its own, with links to related material, so the topics can be read in any order.
Topics may have one or more handouts to print or adapt, available as a PDF or a Word file.
Titles in grey are in preparation.
