The Catechism in a Year Companion takes Catholics through the #1-hitting podcast The Catechism in a Year (with Fr. Mike Schmitz) including daily summaries, transcripts of Fr. Mike’s daily prayers, and extra content for each episode.
It’s the perfect way to remember what you’re hearing and to learn even more about each section of the Catechism!
“The desire for God is written in the human heart, because man is created by God and for God; and God never ceases to draw man to himself. Only in God will he find the truth and happiness he never stops searching for.” –CCC 27
The Companion presents daily content for each episode of the podcast, including:
- The proprietary Catechism in a Year Reading Plan
- “Reflect on the Faith,” where readers will find a summary of the key points and highlights of Fr. Mike’s commentary on the daily passages
- “Take It to Prayer,” where Catholics will be able to pray the daily prayer alongside Fr. Mike and the rest of the CIY community
- “Dive Deeper,” which features unique content related to each day’s readings, from images and Q&As to prayer prompts and ways to live out the teachings of the Church in the day-to-day
In addition to the daily content, each volume of the Companion will provide an introduction and review for the sections of the Catechism it covers. Written by Dr. Petroc Willey, professor of theology and Catechetics at Franciscan University of Steubenville, these introductions and reviews will help Catholics know what to look for in the days ahead and recall what has happened in the days completed.
Volume I of The Catechism in a Year Companion covers days 1–120 of The Catechism in a Year podcast.

I really enjoy the structure of the Companion Book as I like to read the readings for the day first, read through the highlights and meditate on what I have just read. Then I listen to Father Mike and his Podcast for the day. I only wonder when the other two Books will be coming available. The technique is awesome for me and hope not to disrupt this and actually have to pause the entire program.
This is my 2nd year listening to “Catechism in a Year”.
I ordered the Catechism Companion a few weeks in this year and “wow”!
Definitely a game changer, increases my understanding and retention of each episode.
Can’t wait for Volume 2 to come out!
This is a great way to reflect on what Father Mike teaches us during the “Catechism in a Year” series. I hope there will be a print for “volume II,” as this allows me to highlight and review the main points of what we discuss each day.
I have been using the companion books for Bible in Year since about week 2. It is so helpful to read before I listen. It helps me understand better what I’m ready and a great reference to the comments from Father Schmidt’s. I love the Dive Deeper paragraph for each day. They are thought provoking as well.
