The Catechism of the Catholic Church is the definitive summary of our Catholic beliefs and practices. Drawing from the riches of Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition, it highlights how our faith is rooted in the teachings of Christ and his apostles. The Catechism is an essential book for every Catholic to read and understand.

Foundations of Faith: A Journey Through the Catechism of the Catholic Church is the ultimate way for you to encounter the wisdom of the Catechism and deepen your understanding of the Catholic Faith.

This dynamic, video-based program is filmed across 40 locations in 11 countries on 4 continents—taking you to the the places where our faith was explained and clarified by Church councils, the Church doctors, and the saints. This study is a spiritual pilgrimage that will transform the way you understand Catholic teachings and live the Catholic Faith.

Led by renowned educators such as Dr. Edward Sri, Jeff Cavins, Dr. Marcellino D'Ambrosio, Fr. Mike Schmitz, and others, this comprehensive study walks you through the Catechism from beginning to end, unpacking its rich insights and showing you how to apply them to your daily life.
