TEACH THE CHILDREN!
The Splendour Project is determined to help parents, as well as student catechists of the Church, to continue to effectively fulfil their roles as faith educators in the lives of the children. We are commending to you the following lessons that you can systematically impart to your students/children. The lessons are available in electronic form (.pdf) and are freely downloadable. We pray that this endeavour will be found useful and fruitful for you in your sacred task of educating your students/children in the Catholic faith.
We have structured this catechetical journey in such a way that it caters for the intellectual capacity of the children based on their ages and common maturity expectation. Lessons 1 to 51 constitute a complete cycle, but each of these lessons can be delivered at different levels of comprehensiveness. All 51 lessons can be delivered in a three-year cycle. Lessons 52 to 63, which are meant to prepare the more mature students for their Sacrament of Confirmation, focus on living the moral life and the imperative of being witnesses to the faith they have embraced.
[Note to users of the Malaysian Catechetical Series (MCS): You will find that this curriculum has incorporated the subject matters found in the MCS. Rather than seeking to replace the MCS, this curriculum enhances the MCS with more necessary content from Scripture, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and various other Church documents. It also incorporates some crucial interpretations of Scripture and apologetics to prepare our young people as they are confronted by views that contradict Catholic teachings along their faith journey. To match the contents of the MCS to each lesson in this curriculum, please download this reference document.]
