High School Religion Resource Plans

Mater Amabilis participates in affiliate programs with Amazon and Living Book Press.

Scripture

Readings from Scripture – three times weekly following the schedule of the 365 Day Reading Plan for The Bible in a Year (with Fr. Mike Schmitz)

To make a reading schedule for the Scripture readings, simply use the reading plan that matches the podcast.

Another option is the Ascension Press Bible Timeline Bible Story.

Religion readings

The Religion Readings are already broken down into a recommended reading plan. While they can be used for any student in any year, the readings are longer in later years. The fourth volume is also scheduled twice a week in the third term rather than only once a week.
