Bestselling Catechetical Series 'Faith And Life' Now Available in Interactive Online Format from My Catholic Faith Delivered

SAN FRANCISCO, June 7 /Christian Newswire/ -- "Faith and Life", the popular catechetical series from Ignatius Press and authored by Catholics United for the Faith, is now available in an engaging online format. This exciting new online resource is a result of the collaboration of Ignatius Press, Catholics United for the Faith, and the new organization My Catholic Faith Delivered.
My Catholic Faith Delivered is a unique web-based platform developed to enhance students' ability to acquire knowledge and understanding of the Catholic faith. This is accomplished by combining Catholic content with innovative technology. It is the ideal program for a teacher or a catechist looking for resources and courses, and for a Catholic who simply wants a better understanding of the faith. My Catholic Faith Delivered courses are available on the internet anytime, anywhere--making learning convenient and fun. The dynamic courses feature engaging lessons, interactive activities, and immediate assessments that give real-time feedback on learner progress.
My Catholic Faith Delivered began in 2008 when patrons of the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas combined their expertise of online delivery systems with authentic, top-flight Catholic content. As previous owners of a nursing review and online testing program that developed into the largest company in this field, they were excited to transfer their extensive knowledge of online delivery systems to the aid and understanding of the Catholic faith.
The mission of My Catholic Faith Delivered is to partner with faith-based institutions to better equip Catholics in their knowledge of the faith, and to carry out the evangelical vision of the Church. Ignatius Press and Catholics United for the Faith are excited to partner with My Catholic Faith Delivered to offer the "Faith and Life" religious education series as one of its courses.
The "Faith and Life" religious education series is already well-known for presenting Catholic teaching using the time-tested ecclesial methodology and spiral development of catechesis, in a beautiful, student-friendly, comprehensive format. The curriculum features clear and exciting presentations of Catholicism for grades 1-8 that are excellent for Catholic schools, parish catechetical programs and home schools.
Ignatius Press Founder and Editor, Father Joseph Fessio, says, "It has been over 20 years since Catholics United for the Faith and Ignatius Press collaborated to produce the 'Faith and Life' series. Since that time, almost 2,000,000 copies have been sold, about 250,000 of each grade level. The series has been praised by parents and the students themselves for its presentation of the fullness of Catholic faith and Tradition."
"We're very enthusiastic about our partnership with My Catholic Faith Delivered," Father Fessio says. "They have an outstanding, proven platform for on-line education and Ignatius Press/Catholics United for the Faith has an outstanding, proven catechism series. 'Faith and Life' online can be used to supplement or even substitute for our excellent print version."
Mike Sullivan, the president of Catholics United for the Faith, says, "My Catholic Faith Delivered has done a great service for the Church in making available in an online format our popular Faith and Life catechism series. Faith and Life online employs the newest technology to meet the challenges of catechizing our tech-savvy youth in the 21st Century. This innovative tool is a wonderful addition to our arsenal in forming a new generation of Catholics who know, live, and love their Catholic faith."
Barbara Setter Burgoon, the Associate Director of My Catholic Faith Delivered, is available for interviews about the "Faith and Life" courses that are now available in this interactive new online format. She says, "I am so excited to share the online version of 'Faith and Life' with teachers, parents and students around the world. We've paired the very best religion series with some incredible technology to make the Word of God come alive in even more ways."

Quotes from 'The Glories of Mary':

‘I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head.’

(Gen. 3:15)

“Since the devil is the head of original sin, this head it was that Mary crushed: for sin never had any entry into the soul of this Blessed Virgin, which was consequently free from all stain.”

Saint Augustine

PSALM 71 SPEAKS TO MY HEART

Forsake Me Not When My Strength Is Spent

In you, O Lord, do I take refuge;
let me never be put to shame!
In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me;
incline your ear to me, and save me!

Be to me a rock of refuge,
to which I may continually come;
you have given the command to save me,
for you are my rock and my fortress.

Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked,
from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man.
For you, O Lord, are my hope,
my trust, O Lord, from my youth.
Upon you I have leaned from before my birth;
you are he who took me from my mother's womb.
My praise is continually of you.

I have been as a portent to many,
but you are my strong refuge.
My mouth is filled with your praise,
and with your glory all the day.
Do not cast me off in the time of old age;
forsake me not when my strength is spent.

For my enemies speak concerning me;
those who watch for my life consult together
and say, “God has forsaken him;
pursue and seize him,
for there is none to deliver him.”

O God, be not far from me;
O my God, make haste to help me!
May my accusers be put to shame and consumed;
with scorn and disgrace may they be covered
who seek my hurt.

But I will hope continually
and will praise you yet more and more.
My mouth will tell of your righteous acts,
of your deeds of salvation all the day,
for their number is past my knowledge.

With the mighty deeds of the Lord God I will come;
I will remind them of your righteousness, yours alone.

O God, from my youth you have taught me,
and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds.

So even to old age and gray hairs,
O God, do not forsake me,
until I proclaim your might to another generation,
your power to all those to come.
Your righteousness, O God,
reaches the high heavens.
You who have done great things,
O God, who is like you?

You who have made me see many troubles and calamities
will revive me again;
from the depths of the earth
you will bring me up again.
You will increase my greatness
and comfort me again.

I will also praise you with the harp
for your faithfulness, O my God;
I will sing praises to you with the lyre,
O Holy One of Israel.
My lips will shout for joy,
when I sing praises to you;
my soul also, which you have redeemed.

And my tongue will talk of your righteous help all the day long,
for they have been put to shame and disappointed
who sought to do me hurt.
