Listener Question for Today: In our atrium we have several catechists who were trained by different instructors and their album pages all differ as to what year/ages the presentation should be given. We would like to be on the same age/level schedule of presentations. Is there a standard? If so, why do different trainers have varying presentation ages for their album pages?
