Come, Follow Me
A Child's Guide to Faithful Choices |
|
The newest book in this popular series takes
the basics of Catholic moral teaching and breaks
those big ideas down to primary-grade size. Children
learn that the choices they make show who they are
and what is important to them, and that their
choices affect other people, too. Topics include:
|
• |
Think respectful thoughts. |
|
• |
Say polite words. |
|
• |
Act with kindness. |
|
• |
Recognize differences
between thinking and feeling, needing and
wanting |
|
• |
Commandments are God's
loving plan for how we can make faithful
choices. |
|
Each faith-based concept is reinforced with
a hands-on learning activity that is fun,
practical, and easy to remember.

Celebrate With Jesus
A Child's Book of the Sacraments |
|
An easy-to-follow format
introduces each sacrament with a
story in the life of Jesus, along
with a symbol as an instant visual
reminder. A key word helps children
understand and remember the main
emphasis of these celebrations in
the life of the Church.
As always, engaging activities help
children “heart-learn” as well as
“head-learn.” A symbol for each
sacrament is used to provide an
instant visual reminder.
In addition to learning about the
sacraments, children will also
become familiar with common
sacramentals, such as palms, the
rosary, and holy water. The
sacredness of daily activities is
presented as well, to reassure that
the sacraments are not our only
means of grace.

Pray With Mary
A Child's Book of the Rosary |
|
Nothing says
"Catholic" like the rosary. That familiar string of
beads is a common identifier of our Catholic
tradition of honoring Mary, the Mother of Jesus.
Because the rosary is such an integral part of our
Catholic heritage, every Catholic child deserves to
know why we pray it and how to pray it.
Activities engage the children in this hands-on tool
for showing the connections the rosary makes for us
to Mary, God, the universal Church, and the world. A
total of 25 activities includes favorite formats
like dot-to-dot, coloring, decoding, rebuses,
drawing, crossword puzzle, crafts, and more.
Activities include:
|
• |
"Fill and Feel": Create a
rosary with a pencil on the illustration
provided, then "feel the beads" by lightly
touching the backside of the page. |
|
• |
"A-maze-ing Faith": A
three-way maze connects our hearts to God
and our actions to love. |
|
• |
"Creed Connections":
Children learn the prayers of the rosary and
see the connections between those prayers,
the Trinity, and the core beliefs of our
faith.

Heroes come in many forms – an athlete, your
grandfather, a firefighter, or even
Superman. What better time than October, as
All Saints Day approaches, to familiarize
children with 13 of the Church’s most
honored heroes? Each life story highlights a
particular virtue that saint possessed, and
relates the virtue to a child's life today.
God's Heroes is arranged in an easy-to-follow
format, with information about a saint's
life and work on the left and a fun activity
on the right to reinforce the learning. Of
the 13 saints featured, most will be
familiar to children. A few may
be new, which offers children the chance to
get to know other great heroes, and maybe
pick a new favorite!
The 13 saints include:
|
• |
St. Francis of
Assisi |
• |
Blessed Kateri
Tekakwitha |
|
• |
St. Clare of Assisi |

Welcome,
Children!
A
Child's Mass Book
Here's a fun,
reverent and educational way to help
children celebrate the Eucharist. Activities
to develop understanding of the Mass are
arranged in an easy-to-follow sequence that
parallels the progression of the Mass. As
Jesus opens the door to invite children in,
an activity identifying what they see -
altar, tabernacle, candles, crucifix -
immediately helps them become familiar with
the worship space.
Special faith-building features include Mass
responses (up-to-date and indicated in red);
simple icons that show when to sit, stand,
kneel; illustrations of traditional gestures
and postures; 16 activities that explain the
parts of the Mass.
With activities on the left-hand pages and
Mass prayers on the right, parents can
easily help children find their place with
little interruption of their own prayer
experience. Once complete, the book becomes
a personal keepsake to use week after week.
Welcome, Children! can help prepare children
for First Eucharist - or reinforce
participation at Mass for those who already
receive Communion. It's a great resource for RCIA too!
