Long trusted by families for orthodox Catholic formation, this newly re-typeset TAN Books edition has been revised with modernized language, updates reflecting current Church practice, and expanded content that strengthens comprehension and retention. Lessons are enriched with additional explanations of core concepts and relevant quotations drawn from Sacred Scripture, the saints, and the Catechism.</p>\n<p>Yet catechesis is only half the battle. Formation must reach the heart as well as the mind. The <em>Our Holy Faith</em> series aims to foster holiness by engaging children spiritually through “For Me to Do” activities that encourage real application of what they learn. These new TAN editions also include traditional prayers from trustworthy sources, giving students a concrete way to exercise their faith and build devotional habits aligned with each lesson.</p>\n<p>Book 8, <em>Alpha and Omega</em>, continues where Book 7 ends and covers the second half of Baltimore Catechism Two. Students study the precepts of the Church, the commandments of God with emphasis on duties toward neighbor, vocations, and the means of grace: the sacraments, sacramentals, indulgences, and prayer. This textbook includes tests and an answer key, and a pastoral video series is also available.</p>\n<ul style=\"margin: 1.5rem 0; padding-left: 1.25rem;\">\n<li>Teach children orthodox Catholic doctrine with clear, updated language</li>\n<li>Cover the second half of Baltimore Catechism Two in a structured course</li>\n<li>Build holiness through “For Me to Do” activities and traditional prayers</li>\n<li>Use included tests and answer key for confident instruction and assessment</li>\n</ul>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 1.4rem; margin-top: 2rem;\">From the Book</h3>\n<blockquote style=\"font-style: italic; border-left: 4px solid #E2E2E2; background: #fafafa; padding: 1rem; font-size: 1rem; margin: 1rem 0;\">Catechesis forms the mind, but holiness must shape the heart through prayer, practice, and fidelity to grace.</blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 1.4rem; margin-top: 2rem;\">Intended Audience</h3>\n<p>This textbook is intended for students in the upper grades of elementary school through middle school, especially families, homeschoolers, and Catholic schools seeking an orthodox, structured religion curriculum.</p>\n<p>It is not a casual devotional workbook.

Give your child a solid foundation in the Faith with the acclaimed Our Holy Faith series of religion textbooks for grades 1–8. Long trusted by families for orthodox Catholic formation, this newly re-typeset TAN Books edition has been revised with modernized language, updates reflecting current Church practice, and expanded content that strengthens comprehension and retention. Lessons are enriched with additional explanations of core concepts and relevant quotations drawn from Sacred Scripture, the saints, and the Catechism.
Yet catechesis is only half the battle. Formation must reach the heart as well as the mind. The Our Holy Faith series aims to foster holiness by engaging children spiritually through “For Me to Do” activities that encourage real application of what they learn. These new TAN editions also include traditional prayers from trustworthy sources, giving students a concrete way to exercise their faith and build devotional habits aligned with each lesson.
Book 8, Alpha and Omega, continues where Book 7 ends and covers the second half of Baltimore Catechism Two. Students study the precepts of the Church, the commandments of God with emphasis on duties toward neighbor, vocations, and the means of grace: the sacraments, sacramentals, indulgences, and prayer. This textbook includes tests and an answer key, and a pastoral video series is also available.

From the Book
Catechesis forms the mind, but holiness must shape the heart through prayer, practice, and fidelity to grace.
Intended Audience
This textbook is intended for students in the upper grades of elementary school through middle school, especially families, homeschoolers, and Catholic schools seeking an orthodox, structured religion curriculum.
It is not a casual devotional workbook. It is a full catechetical text with lesson structure, practical exercises, and assessment tools designed to form both understanding and habit.
Practical use cases include homeschool religion instruction, classroom curriculum, parish supplemental catechesis, and family faith formation.
FAQs
What does Book 8 cover? It covers the second half of Baltimore Catechism Two, including the precepts of the Church, the commandments of God, vocations, and the means of grace: sacraments, sacramentals, indulgences, and prayer.
Does the textbook include assessments? Yes. It includes tests and an answer key.
Is there companion media? Yes. A pastoral video series is also available.
The biggest issue I have is the answer key being in the back of the book. The answer key can not be easily torn out so my kids would definitely look there for the answers if doing the questions on their own, so we have to do them orally or I have to rewrite the questions.

Homeschool Catechism Program
Posted by Teresa H. on Jul 28th 2022
I have 2 - 7th graders who are making their Confirmation this year. I homeschool and use this book for Catechism Class. It is a marvelous and complete instruction on the Sacraments and Precepts of the Church and much more.
