Sacramental Preparation Protocol I, First Penance and First Holy Communion (for the second grade): A Working Instrument of the Subcommittee on the Catechism, Approved June 9, 2013 

Protocol for Assessing the Conformity of Catechetical Materials with the Catechism of the Catholic Church

In his apostolic constitution, Fidei depositum, Pope John Paul II points out that the Catechism of the Catholic Church “is meant to encourage and assist in the writing of new local catechisms, which take into account various situations and cultures, while carefully preserving the unity of faith and fidelity to Catholic doctrine” (Pope John Paul II, Fidei depositum, #3).  In light of this objective and the charge of the Administrative Committee of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops, the Subcommittee on the Catechism is reviewing catechetical materials voluntarily submitted as to their conformity with the Catechism of the Catholic Church.  

To guide this process and to provide as objective an instrument as possible, the Subcommittee on the Catechism has developed this Protocol for Assessing the Conformity of Catechetical Materials with the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Sacramental Preparation I, First Penance and First Holy Communion, 2nd Grade, as a working instrument. This working instrument has been derived from previously approved documents.
