Children look up to and admire their heroes
− from athletes to
action figures, pop stars to princesses. Who
better to admire than God's heroes? This
book introduces young children to 13 of the
greatest heroes of our faith—the saints. 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 thirteen saints featured, most will be
familiar names for the 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 |

Introduce
young children to some of our most treasured
Bible stories in a way that captures their
attention and helps them grow in

story, drawn from both the Old and New
Testaments, is followed by an activity that

significance.

left and the activity on the right. Stories
preserve the dignity of the original text
and convey a healthy, loving image of God.

that never stops growing.
The 17 stories, selected to represent a
comprehensive view of the Bible, include
"God Create the World," God Frees the Chosen
People," "The Ten Commandments," "Proverbs
Are Words of Advice," "Jesus Is Baptized,"
"Jesus Heals a Blind Man," "Jesus Appears to
Mary Magdalene," and more.

Welcome,
Children!
A
Beginner'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!
