Story Behind The Book
Many children come to mass with their families, but do not fully understand what is happening. This little book is a bring along book. Rosemarie and I wanted to write a book that would allow families to spend time talking about the mass with their children. We wanted an opportunity for everone in the family to explore and renew their faith.
Reviews
"I have purchased this book for my children, godchildren, and First Communion Class students! It is so wonderful to find a book that teaches children the truths of our Catholic Faith in a way that is simple yet eloquent. This book does not water down our Faith or dumb it down... The children love it. "
