Welcome to the RCL Benziger Resource Center, the newest section on our Web site. We plan to gather here all the resources from our various curriculum Web sites that are of general interest to all of our users, regardless of your choice of curriculum. At the present time, we have two main categories in the Resource Center. The first of these includes the study guides for our popular book series, Catholic Spirituality for Adults, a joint project of Orbis Books and RCL Benziger. You may access these study guides by using the link at the top of this page.
Our other main category is our Saints Resources, the entire collection of information about saints and holy people available online. This material can be accessed in a variety of ways—by alphabetical name, by feast day, by Marian feasts, or by the name of the curriculum series in which it appears. Follow the links at the top of this page to view an introduction to this material or to find the format you prefer.
In the months to come, we will add many new features to this site, so check back frequently. We hope you will find this a helpful resource for your ministry or for your personal faith journey.
