Dear Partner in Ministry, It seems as if everyone is speaking about discipleship! A new document from the U.S. Bishops, “Disciples Called to Witness: The New Evangelization,” urges all Catholics to live the call to discipleship, and Pope Benedict is committing the next World Youth Day in 2013 to the theme, “Go and Make Disciples of All Nations.” RCL Benziger is pleased to be in step with that focus as we present our new religious education program: Be My Disciples. Parishes have been very excited by what they saw in Be My Disciples this year, and we know that Catholic schools will share that enthusiasm as the school program for this Christ-centered and truly balanced approach to catechesis is published in 2013. In addition, our bilingual version, Sean mis Discípulos, will be available for the religious formation of Spanish-speaking learners and their families. If you haven’t yet seen Be My Disciples, please contact us for a free review pack; we are very proud of its engaging, enriching content and design. A liturgical music program fully integrated into the curriculum offers our partners in ministry a rich catechetical experience. Our Catholic Heritage We have also been edified by the response to Our Catholic Heritage, our initiatory program for children who have not previously been catechized or are returning to the faith and life of the Church. This program is offered on two levels: upper elementary and junior high. The books follow the directives of the General Directory for Catechesis and provide resources for parishes and schools to reach out to new or returning families, welcoming them home to the Catholic faith. The Faithful Revolution: Vatican II This past October the Catholic Church marked the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican Council, and RCL Benziger is pleased to offer catechists and educators a resource that is unparalleled! The Faithful Revolution: Vatican II is a five-DVD set that makes this more than just a chapter in Church history. Adults and older learners, as well as parish leaders, will enjoy this historic film footage, interviews with Council attendees, and the accompanying participant handouts and study guide that make this an invaluable addition to a parish or school’s celebration of the Year of Faith: 2012–2013. New for Digital Disciples! Our brand new Web site, BeMyDisciples.com, is chock-full of activities and resources for families, catechists, educators, and students. It was developed with the very latest web technology to support our partners in ministry. Additionally, our Web sites for the popular Blest Are We: Faith & Word program, for Sacraments, Lectionary, and our Saints Resource have all been redesigned with clean navigation and up-to-date information. Each can be found from our homepage, RCLBenziger.com — please take a look at them! We are truly pleased about the new resources that we are able to offer, and about the updates made to our popular and longstanding materials. With more than 200 years of experience in religious education, the RCL Benziger legacy and history are important to us, and we will continue to support you in all we do so that you may serve the People of God. Our gratitude for all you do to “Go and Make Disciples!”

“I use Stories of God’s Love for our Pre-K, Pre-K 4, and our Kindergarten classes. Our parents even enjoy it because there are things that they can get involved with it, which makes it a very nice program for us to use.”

“We use [Stories of God’s Love] for our kindergarten in a Summer Intensive Program. We are able to adapt each – Genevieve D., DRE lesson with a theme for each day, so all grades are learning about the same theme on their own grade level.” “We have been using Stories of God’s Love for two years and – Mary E., DRE there are a lot of things I like about it. Stories of God’s Love has been a great program for our four-year-olds! I am also a parent of a preschooler so when my son brings home what they learned about that day, I really enjoy that.”

As a result of their input, the features and benefits of the Be My Disciples program will help you meet the needs of the students and families you serve as they grow in the knowledge of their faith and live as disciples of Jesus. Using a balanced approach, Be My Disciples is an innovative religion curriculum that empowers students and their families to answer the call to discipleship.

A Complete Music Program Directed by well-known Catholic composer and performer Steve Angrisano.

Steve Angrisano

Each music CD contains: • A program theme song • Six hymns (one for each unit) sung by young voices help children build a musical repertoire of liturgical music as they advance through the grades • Sung Mass parts reflecting the new Roman Missal • Instrumental music for classroom meditation

The music naturally incorporates the findings of brain research into the learning process. It can help relax, focus, and energize the brain to help children learn and grow, in faith formation. Because of the music program’s liturgical foundation, it also supports one of the six tasks of catechesis: liturgical education.

“The Faithful Revolution: Vatican II offers a modern overview of the evolution of the contemporary Church and inspires extensive discussions.” – Sharon B., Director for Catholic Formation

“Faith First Legacy Junior High is easy to teach and the material is both interesting and relevant for Junior High Students.”

“I used the ice breakers and group activities in Faith First Legacy in order – Susan A., Administrator of Religious Education to get the students to know each other and make group discussions less intimidating. Once they had fun and broke out of their shells a bit, the rest of our more serious discussions ran more smoothly.”
