Student Leaflets

The New Catholic Vision, written by Mark Link, S.J., presents the Catholic faith in a way that is faithful to Sacred Scripture and the teachings of the Church as presented in the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

Originally intended for use in the RCIA process, The New Catholic Vision is a practical and easy-to-use resource for adult faith formation, small faith-sharing groups, and study groups interested in learning more about the Catholic faith. Presented in thirty-one four-page leaflets, the sessions may be presented in order, organized in correlation with the Sunday Scriptures, or used as content for seasonal prayer and study gatherings.

The four sections of The New Catholic Vision present an overview of the Catholic faith and the Catholic vision of Revelation, Worship, and Life (morality). Each session begins with reflection questions meant to stimulate discussion, and continues with a story, Church teaching, small group reflection, and reflection on Sacred Scripture.

WHY THE PREPUNCHED, LOOSE-LEAF FORMAT?
The prepunched, loose-leaf format allows for maximum flexibility in using the material. Since each chapter (leaflet lesson) is self-contained, the chapters need not be taken sequentially. For example, RCIA directors may wish to mix and match the chapters according to the Sunday Lectionary readings.They may also wish to hand each chapter out as it is used. If this is done, the director might find it more convenient to order the “ten-pack” units.These units package the individual chapters in groups of ten, so that they can be passed out more conveniently to a group.
