A note before we pick your brain on costs!
The real printed cost of Heart to Heart (ordered in bulk, at a minimum of 1,000 copies, by the Diocese) will be around $7.50/copy.
Some might think: WOAH. That's a steal.
Others might think: WOAH. That's a lot.
Both could be true regarding the situation in your parish or school. When it comes down to it, what we value and what is most important often is often shown by where we're willing to invest time, energy, and money.
There are few endeavors as worthy as helping our young people learn how to pray and bringing them closer to Jesus Christ and his Church. We believe Heart to Heart will be a great aid in doing so.
Lastly, some words from Saint Pope John Paul II:
As the 20th century draws to a close, the Church is bidden by God and by events to renew her trust in catechetical activity as a prime aspect of her mission. She is bidden to offer catechesis her best resources in people and energy, without sparing effort, toil or material means, in order to organize it better and to train qualified personnel. This is no mere human calculation; it is an attitude of faith. And an attitude of faith always has reference to the faithfulness of God, who never fails to respond.
