    Pflaum Gospel Weeklies is an excellent resource to enrich your religious studies program. It is a lectionary-based catechesis program which integrates the catechesis of young people with the ongoing life of the parish community at Sunday Eucharist. In other words, its content is based on the Sunday Gospels of the liturgical year. By following the Sunday lectionary children learn about their faith within the rhythms and seasons of the liturgical year.

    It is an excellent tool for young people to connect daily life with the Sunday liturgy. The program is offered at different levels (K-8) and is designed in a newsletter format (pull-outs for each week), which makes it easy to use. It also offers teachers quick, ready-to-go lessons when needed. Another wonderful aspect to the program is that it can be used with students with learning disabilities because the activities are simple, concise, engaging and fun to use. With this program there is no reason students with learning disabilities should not be given time to learn and grow in their faith no matter what level they are at.
