Mike Aquilina
Award-winning author of more than 40 popular books

Fr. Mitch Pacwa, S.J.
Author, television host, Senior Fellow of the St. Paul Center

"In a world of burgeoning textbooks and media, the reminder that  catechesis is inescapably a personal task to which we are all called, through a cooperation with the redeeming and educative work of the Person of the Holy Trinity, is a timely and important one."
Dr. Petroc Willey
Professor of Catechetics, Franciscan University of Steubenville
