When the bestselling youth catechism YOUCAT was published in 2011, Pope Benedict XVI encouraged people to study it in groups with "passion and perseverance". YOUCAT Companion answers that call, in the form of a twenty-session study programme. Both structured and systematic, it gives its members the opportunity to share their faith and their search for God, helping them to discover courage and confidence in their own understanding of the Gospel.
