This Is Our Faith: A Catholic Catechism for Adults

This book is a catechism written for grown Catholics. It is aimed first at adults coming to the faith for the first time, and it gives particular attention to people taking part in the Rite of Christian Initiation, the process by which adults enter the Church. Its purpose is to set out the basic teachings of Catholicism in a form suited to those who are learning them now, or relearning them as they approach the sacraments. Readers who want a clear grounding in what the Church believes, and why, before or during their initiation will find it written with them in mind.
