100 Years of Catholic Social Teaching (ACBO)

Fully Alive is a Family Life Education program sponsored by the Assembly of Catholic Bishops of Ontario (ACBO). The first edition of Fully Alive was published between 1988 and 1992 with updates starting in 2006 and 2012.

Fully Alive is designed to provide children and their families an opportunity to reflect on and be guided by the wisdom drawn from Christian human experience. Its focus is on the ordinary experiences of daily life—family relationships, friendships, marriage, birth, death, joys, and disappointments. Much of the writing in the Wisdom books of the Old Testament reflects this desire to teach the art of daily living.
