Produced by the Marquette University Institute of Catechetical Research under the editorship of Edward A. Fitzpatrick in the 1930’s, the Highway to Heaven series of religion textbooks is a breath of fresh air. Unashamed love of the Catholic Faith is evident on every page.
Full of beautiful black and white woodcut-styled illustrations, The Vine and the Branches is the Fifth Grade textbook in the series. It traces the history of the Catholic Church from the time of the Apostles through the centuries, introducing students to the saints, missionaries, and great events that have shaped her history, while showing how every member of the Church is united to Christ, the true Vine.
The corresponding Teacher's Manual is part of The Religion in Life Curriculum, which provides detailed lesson plans and a wealth of suggestions for enriching the teaching of religion. The Fifth Grade Teacher's Manual can be found here.
PLEASE NOTE: all our textbooks are printed on demand and drop shipped from our supplier (there are simply too many to keep on hand here!) so please allow 10-14 business days for them to arrive. Thank you for understanding.

Wonderful and easy to understand
This book was required by our co op. I'm so glad it was. We are doing the Baltimore catechism and I thought this was another Baltimore style catechism. It is more church history. The family reads this and we are learning so much. I am looking forward to purchasing the others for our homeschool library.

Love this series
We have been using this series for the past school year and we are really enjoying it. We wanted something solid but interesting as well and this series does not disappoint. Some of the questions at the end of the chapters need to be adapted to our times but that cam be done and also one can pick and choose which ones to focus on. The stories and pictures capture the attention of the children. We plan on continuing this series for the near future.
