Blest Are We Faith in Action - School Edition Grades K-8 

Blest Are We Faith in Action invites all learners to explore and grow in Faith, Word, and Action. Using an integrated approach, each unit is based on a particular theme or area of Catholic belief and practice. This theme is studied over four individual chapters that correspond to the four pillars of the Catechism: What Catholics Believe, How Catholics Worship, How Catholics Live, and How Catholics Pray. In this way the essentials of Catholic teaching are presented in an integrated and balanced approach that helps students learn and deepen their faith and Catholic identity.
