Problem Solve for Prudent Estate Planning
The Catholic Faith is over 2000 years old. While living as a Christian can be very simple, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," it is also full of richness and history. 

The Knights of Columbus encourage all Catholics, but Catholic men, especially, to engage conscientiously in on-going study of Holy Scripture and our Catholic Faith.

In over 60 years, CIS, the Catholic Information Service the Knights of Columbus started in 1948, has printed millions of easy-to-read booklets in multiple media formats and enrolled more than a hundred thousand students in our courses: all in an effort to preach Jesus Christ to the world.

Here is a list, although by no means exhaustive, of many of the best-loved Catholic works and educational resources available to Catholics for further study of the Roman Catholic Faith:

  • Catechism of the Catholic Church
