Statement on conformity of faith-formation and catechetical materials

Some customers inquire if Liguori faith-formation and catechetical products have been submitted to the Subcommittee on the Catechism for review.

According to the criteria authored by the Subcommittee, the kinds of materials accepted must fit a definition. Should materials not fit the definition the Subcommittee on the Catechism does not accept them. Due to confusion among customers asking for approval that could not be granted, several Catholic publishers asked the Subcommittee for a statement clarifying the range of materials accepted.

Please go to the following link for the letter and explanation.

Liguori Publications will continue to seek ecclesiastical approval on products when it is needed.

Thank you for your inquiry!
