After the Bible, YOUCAT will likely become the go-to place for young people to learn the truth about the Catholic faith.
It explains: What Catholics believe (doctrine) How they celebrate the mysteries of the faith (sacraments) How Catholics are to live (moral life) How they should pray (prayer and spirituality) The questions are direct and honest, even at times tough; the answers straightforward, relevant, and compelling.
What\'s more, YOUCAT is keyed to the Catechism of the Catholic Faith, so people can go deeper.
The popular format includes Questions-and-Answers, highly-readable commentary, margin pictures and illustrations, summary definitions of key terms, Bible citations, and quotes from the Saints and other great teachers.
Written for high-school age people and young adults, YOUCAT is an accessible, contemporary expression of the Catholic Faith.
