About CatechistShelf
A little order.
More room for
what matters.
A small, independent directory for the people who form the faith of their parishes. A thoughtful starting point for finding what fits.

Why this shelf exists
Less time searching.
More time preparing.
We started CatechistShelf because comparing programs shouldn't take a whole summer. It brings information together for DREs, catechists, OCIA teams, youth ministers and volunteers.
We're not a publisher and we don't sell curriculum. We just keep the shelf tidy so you can find what fits your parish.
Behind the shelf
A small project.
A clear responsibility.
CatechistShelf is a project of Cordial Labs, led by Edmund Mitchell, who is responsible for what we publish.
How it's made
AI agents help us research programs, check publisher pages and keep listings up to date. Every listing links to its source and shows when it was last updated. If something couldn't be confirmed, it says "unknown."
If you spot an error, tell us and we'll fix it.
