The main guide to what Catholics believe is the Catechism of the Catholic Church, although the Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church might be a good start for someone exploring the faith at an early stage. For young people the Church has produced YouCat as a way of presenting the faith, undiluted, to a new generation.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church is divided into four categories – Prayer, Sacraments, Creed and the Moral Life. Click on the buttons below to find out a little more about each area of our faith.
