Catechism: Learning the Faith

It is not unusual for even adult Catholics to be reluctant to talk about, or perhaps even particiapte in, the life of the Catholic Church. Often times adults and parents are embarassed that they do not feel they know enough about being Catholic to share it at home, among family and friends, or to even practice it regaularly. 
Perhaps you have been away for a while and would like to start a journey back.
Not to worry!! You are not alone, and the great news is, there are fantastic resources out there to learn more about what it means to be Catholic. 

As a start, you can't go wrong by exploring the offerings from Dynamic Catholic, Bishop Barron'sWord on Fire, Ascension Press, The Catholic Minute, Real Life Catholic, the Metanoia series from Fransiscan
University. If you want more, check out the 'Netflix for Catholics" at Formed.org
