Every child loves to explore and learn new things. They want to know the "why" and "how" of the way things work, the way things are in life. These answers can be found in discovering Who God Is and how He is Love. This program is perfect for your child because it gets your son/daughter excited about learning and wanting to know more. It dives into Bible stories and teachings of the Church on which our Catholic Faith is based. Ready. Set. Let's Discover!
Your child receives their own Discover Kit, complete with their own Catholic Children's Bible, built-in energetic hands-on learning activities, and age-appropriate prayers, puzzles, and challenges in their Activity Book. Watch as they connect the dots and transform a learned faith into a joyfully lived faith!
