"All of us at Pflaum are excited and enthusiastic about our partnership with VSCHOOLZ. We see this digital delivery and use of the Pflaum Gospel Weeklies Faith Formation Program as a giant step into the future. The platform provided by VSCHOOLZ and the content developed by the authors of the Weeklies will give tens of thousands of Catholic children a chance to experience a complete, child-friendly, dynamic, and affordable catechesis in the same interactive ways they experience other subjects," said Cullen Schippe, President of the Pflaum Publishing Division of Peter Li Education Group.
"The VSCHOOLZ team is proud to partner with the Peter Li Education Group to bring this customizable and engaging educational material to Catholic children around the world," said Trina Trimm, Chief Operating Officer at VSCHOOLZ. "In this digital age, it is exciting to have a publisher embrace and incorporate blended classroom learning management technologies into the delivery of their curriculum. The message and lessons to be learned from a study of church and faith are timeless, but are made so much more relevant to today's digital students when delivered in an interactive, engaging manner. The ability for schools and churches to reach families through web-based and online communities is powerful."
About Pflaum
Published by Pflaum Publishing, the Pflaum Gospel Weeklies offer a complete, affordable, and easy-to-teach Catholic faith-formation program organized around the Sundays, feast days, and religious seasons celebrated by the Church. This "liturgical catechesis" approach actually encourages Mass attendance by synchronizing the liturgy and worship of the church community with the student instruction plan – providing a unique and popular alternative to creed-based programs.
The Weeklies provide both a timely and current 32-week lesson program coupled with a timeless, non-changing and doctrinally complete faith-formation handbook "What the Church Believes and Teaches", which has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Further enrichment is provided through age-appropriate activities, musical accompaniment and proven teaching strategies and other tools, which reinforce the lessons. This comprehensive approach allows the Weeklies to be used as the basic religious education program, or if desired, to augment another program.
