The three-volume Parish-Based Formation Program for Volunteer Catechists is based on the work of the Episcopal Commission on Catechesis and Catholic Education (ECCCE) — particularly on their Basic Formation Program: Training Catechists for the 90s. The lessons in these books cover both the doctrinal input and teaching methodology.
From 1990 to 1998, there was a fully staffed and autonomous National Media Center for Catechesis, which produced full-color catechetical flipcharts with song cassettes, manuals and carrying cases for both elementary level and high school and many more innovative and appealing materials.
