The Didache Series
6 core subjects; 5 electives

The Didache Series textbooks have been found to be in conformity with the Catechism of the Catholic Church by the USCCB. The Didache Series include textbooks for each of the six core courses and five electives of the USCCB curriculum framework. Each course fulfills the requirement of the USCCB Curriculum Framework and has been granted Ecclesiastical approval. The complete set includes a Student Textbook, Student Workbook, and Teacher’s Manual.
Our textbooks present students with the life and doctrine of the Catholic Church as expressed in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Sacred Scripture, the Lives of the Saints, and the Doctors and Fathers of the church. The Christological approach of the series also examines the Church as an encounter with Christ, providing students with doctrinal knowledge and practical means for living the Catholic faith as witnesses in the world.
The Didache Semester Series (6 core subjects; 5 electives) is a curriculum developed to help teachers and students build lifelong theological foundations based on knowledge of God through the teachings of Jesus Christ.
