Is
the Faith and Life series found in many schools
and parishes?
There are hundreds of thousands of students throughout
the country that have the Faith and Life
religion series. Sales have increased considerably
since the publication of the Catechism of the
Catholic Church. Pastors, Principals, Religious
Education Directors, Teachers have found that
the Faith and Life textbook is an invaluable
treasure presenting the infinite value and fullness
of the faith.
The Faith and Life religion series is published
by Ignatius Press, a non-profit Catholic book
publishing company dedicated to providing outstanding
books, videos, and religious education in the
rich tradition of the Catholic faith. The company
is unable to continually provide millions of dollars
in advertising; however, when parishes find the
Faith and Life series they know they have
found a treasure and spread that message to other
parishes.

My
Director of Religious Education says that the
Faith and Life series is not approved by our diocese.
If your Director of Religious Education has stated
that the Faith and Life series is not approved
by the diocese, it may mean that the diocese has
not reviewed the series for approval. Pleases
call Marilyn Hogan, Ignatius Press Religious Education
Consultant, at 800-779-5534. She will contact
your particular diocese and learn the procedure
for obtaining textbook approval in the diocese.
The diocesan offices will be sent complimentary
copies of the Faith and Life series for their
evaluation. The Diocesan Religious Education Director
will also receive a copy of the commendations
that the Bishops Ad Hoc Committee gave for the
Faith and Life textbook and Teacher's Manual.
These commendations which required no revisions
for conformity with the Catechism of the Catholic
Church will assist the diocesan committee in their
approval process.
