Uses: Many of the YOUCAT books can be used as a primary text to guide an entire year of classroom instruction. The sequential progression of the material, mirroring the fourfold structure of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, makes it an easy-to-use text that unfolds with the school year. However, the books are structured so that you can focus only on the key areas that you want to cover. The choice is yours.

"The book you are reading is an ideal companion on the path to the Sacrament of Matrimony. Before receiving the Sacrament of Matrimony, there should be careful preparation, I would say a catechumenate, because with love one’s entire life is at stake, and one does not kid around with love."
—Pope Francis
