A complete approach to faith formation and sacrament prep for children and families
How Discover: Finding Faith in Life and Go Seek Find: Discover God’s Treasures Work Together in Parish Life
Parish leaders know that Catholic faith formation is more than a program—it’s a ministry of accompaniment. Children are growing in their understanding of God, learning how to live their faith, and preparing for the sacraments that shape their lifelong relationship with Christ.
Discover! Finding Faith in Life and Go Seek Find were created to support that journey with clarity, consistency, and care. Each program serves a distinct purpose, yet together they offer parishes a thoughtful, well aligned approach to K–5 faith formation curriculum and sacramental preparation—without unnecessary complexity for catechists or families.
Two programs with clear roles and a shared heart
Discover! Finding Faith in Life
- Comprehensive K–5 Catholic faith formation curriculum
- Helps children encounter Scripture, grow in understanding of Church teaching, and connect faith to everyday life
Go Seek Find
- Sacramental preparation for First Reconciliation and First Eucharist
- Supports children and families as they joyfully prepare for these important milestones
Together, these programs help parishes clearly distinguish formation from sacramental preparation—while ensuring both feel connected, intentional, and rooted in the same vision of discipleship.
A consistent learning experience that serves catechists well
Catechists are crucial to good faith formation. Discover and Go Seek Find honor their time and dedication by using a shared lesson design philosophy that feels familiar across the programs.
Both include:
- A lesson opening that engages children right away
- Meaningful diving into Scripture through The Catholic Children’s Bible
- Active, age-appropriate learning experiences
- Clear direction and steps for sharing solid Catholic teaching
- Encouragement and opportunities to apply faith to real life
Catechists will easily recognize the similarities in the flow and rhythm of the lessons between the two programs, making it easier to plan, teach, and support children year after year.
One Bible, one foundation, year after year
Both programs use The Catholic Children’s Bible as the core text—a decision that supports long–term faith development rather than short–term preparation.
This shared foundation:
- Builds biblical literacy gradually and confidently
- Helps children feel at home with Scripture
- Ties core Catholic teaching to the Bible
Sacramental preparation that fits naturally into faith formation
Because Go Seek Find aligns so closely with Discover, parishes can weave sacramental preparation into their overall approach to K–5 Catholic faith formation.
This alignment helps:
- Reinforce that sacraments are part of a lifelong journey of faith
- Maintain consistent expectations for catechists
- Provide families with a clear, connected experience—especially those with children in multiple grades
The result is a more unified parish approach, rather than a collection of disconnected programs.
Flexible options that support families where they are
Today’s families need flexibility—and parishes need resources that can adapt.
Both Discover! and Go Seek Find include free online lessons and home guides, making these programs well-suited for:
- Homebased or family faith formation
- Hybrid or blended parish models
- Weather cancellations and schedule disruptions
- Families who need additional support outside the classroom
No matter the setting, children and families stay connected to the same formation goals and parish vision.
Additionally, our Gathered Family Sessions, included with purchase of Discover!, offer a dynamic way to do family faith formation well–in a practical and flexible structure. Rooted in the liturgical and natural seasons, the Gathered Family Sessions offer ten 90-minute sessions from September through June. Let these energizing experiences be the catalyst for a renewed sense of community and a deeper connection to God within your parish.
Thoughtful stewardship of parish resources
Using Discover! and Go Seek Find together is not only pastorally sound—it’s also responsible stewardship.
