Catechism

The fundamental teachings of the Catholic Church.

What We Believe

The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) is a complete, systematic explanation of the faith. It is organized into four "pillars":

  1. The Profession of Faith: The Apostles' Creed.
  2. The Celebration of the Christian Mystery: The Sacraments and Liturgy.
  3. Life in Christ: The Ten Commandments and Beatitudes.
  4. Christian Prayer: The Lord's Prayer and the life of prayer.
