What is the Catechism of the Catholic Church?

A catechism presents the foundational truths of the Catholic faith in an organized format. The Catechism of the Catholic Church was first published in 1992 and is organized into four parts:

• The Profession of Faith
• The Celebration of the Christian Mystery
• Life in Christ
• Christian Prayer

The text is supplemented with footnote citations, sidenotes to cross reference topics, a glossary, and an analytical index. This publication matches the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Second Edition, which is the most recent version of the Catechism.

Is this book approved by the Church?

Yes, the book was reviewed and approved for use by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.

Why this format?

This Catechism was created as a coffee-table style book by a team of Catholic artists and designers to reflect the beauty of humanity in all aspects of life. We want readers to discover God not only through the text of the CCC, but also in the shapes, colors, textures, and vistas that echo His presence.

A coffee-table style Catechism places your faith at the center of your home both literally and spiritually.
