Living in Joyful Hope in the Catholic Faith

In 2012 Pope Benedict when urged all Catholics to deepen their knowledge of the faith using the Catechism of the Catholic Church. A group of parishioners from St. Mary's Parish, Lucan, Dublin formed to research and compile a summary of Catholic Doctrine in simple and accessible language. This book represents the work compiled by the project group and is intended to help people, young and old, to understand the main beliefs of the Catholic faith. Feedback So Far

Early drafts of the book have been distributed to a diverse group of readers in Europe, Africa and Australia. "It is a lovely book in line with the Catechism. I would like more to give to others" "There is so much in it. It's like a Bible. I'd need to be reading it over and over to hopefully someday absorb it all. Even the summary of the context of the books of the Bible makes such a difference to know even that much when you have never done Bible study." "I have just read the book and then recited my Rosary in a world rampant with relativism and secularism. It is a joy to read such a refreshing book. It has lifted my spirit. Praise God it has pointed out to me that in a world filled with negativity it is good to be tuned into the joy that only the Holy Spirit can bring" "It is quite a lovely book that we are enjoying each day when we read it. It is surely helping us in our Catholic faith. As soon as we finish reading this book we will surely mature more in our faith for that is the most important thing that we have always desired to have" "I like the book so much I don't want it to end" "The summary is very good. Is clear succinct and to the point. It covers the essentials".
