Basic Catechism Faqs About Catholic Faith
Sr. Susan Helen Wallace, FSP, (1940–2013) was a Daughter of St. Paul for fifty years. She held master’s degrees in theology and journalism and was a prolific writer. Sister Susan Helen had a particular love for the saints and considered Saint Thérèse of Lisieux a personal heavenly friend and intercessor.
"Sister Mary Lea Hill, FSP, and Sister Helen Wallace, FSP give us a comprehensive explanation of the Catholic faith and a guide to living a faith-filled life that will benefit the scholar, the seeker, and all in between. The detailed, but easy to read, description of the Mass and the vestments and vessels used at Mass make this ideal for RCIA groups, but it belongs on the shelf of any serious Catholic."
Susan Abbott, Director, Office of Religious Education, Archdiocese of Boston
"With the publication of the 8th revised edition of Basic Catechism, Pauline Books & Media has once again provided us with a doctrinally sound and reader-friendly basic resource for anyone seeking to learn (more) about the Catholic faith. This is a great tool, especially for use by parents and catechists."
Richard J. Malone, ThD, STL, Bishop of Buffalo
"The Catholic Faith is big, beautiful, and mysterious. We can often feel like a traveler in a strange land as we explore it. Sr. Mary Lea Hill and Sr. Helen Wallace provide a wonderful service for both converts and cradle Catholics alike in this accessible guidebook for the wonderers and adventurers who seek to answer the call of Jesus from the heart of the Church."
Mark P. Shea, author of Salt and Light: The Commandments, the Beatitudes, and a Joyful Life
