YOUCAT Companion provides a twenty-session session group study program which is both structured and systematic. By forming a study group, identifying a faith filled Leader and growing in faith and friendship, we believe this companion will help you come to a deeper understanding of the Catholic faith.
A study group gives its members the opportunity to listen to other people speak about their Catholic faith and their search for God. This will give you courage and confidence in your own understanding of the gospel steadily you will mature as an articulate and courageous follower of Jesus Christ.

YOUCAT is the Catechism of the Catholic Church for adolescents and young people. The most important elements of the faith are summarised briefly and comprehensibly in a question-and-answer format.
The YOUCAT was approved by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in Rome and officially published by the Austrian Bishops’ Conference.
