About this edition

The coloring book follows the catechism’s 33 lessons, one question to a page. Each page prints the question and its answer word for word, with a large, simple picture between them: big enough for small hands, with clean lines that are easy to stay inside.

Color a page together, talk about the answer, and pray. A name line on every page makes it easy to hand pages out in class, and a “This coloring book belongs to” page at the front makes it a child’s own.

  • A full page to color for each of the 206 questions.
  • Each question and answer printed word for word above and below its picture.
  • A name line on every page, and a “This coloring book belongs to” page at the front.
  • Photocopy pages for one home or classroom.
