Children deserve answers to their difficult questions that are appropriate for their age and that respond to the issues they are dealing with as they develop. Children who get realistic, honest answers develop trust, faith and hope, and become well-adjusted adults. Since children of different ages require different approaches, Butterflies provides guidance for each stage of development: from infants and toddlers to high school. Natural events or catastrophes portrayed in the media present many opportune times to put to use the answers provided in Butterflies. Have this book on hand and use it as a guide for sharing your own beliefs about what makes life meaningful and worthwhile. Anyone who cares about children will find this book to be an essential resource. Paperback, 120 pages. Quantity
So much fun, kids will forget they’re learning about the Faith!
With the same classroom-tested style that made our Big Book of Ideas for Children’s Faith Formation so popular, this book shows you step-by-step how to make learning fun for children ages 3 to 8, and beyond.
Your favorite characters from the first book return to lead us through Advent, Christmas, Lent, Easter, and a few secular holidays, too. Short stories, crafts, games, and traditional decorations remind them of the time-honored customs of the season. Prayers and devotions — some new, some traditional — keep all the fun centered on faith, and might just become lifetime habits.
If you teach in Catholic schools or CCD classes, you’ll wonder how you ever got along without this book. If you’re a homeschooler, this is just the help you’ve been looking for. If you’re a parent or grandparent looking for some rainy-day fun, here’s fun you can feel good about. Paper, 352 pages. Our Sunday Visitor, Spring 2003. Quantity
This authorized biography of a much-loved woman is remarkable for its readable narrative and intimate account of the life of Mother Teresa of Calcutta, often told in her own words, thus making it stand above the many books written about this contemporary saint both before and after her death. Its publication coincides with her beatification on October 19, 2003.
Author T.T. Mundakel spent many hours with Mother Teresa; his skillful integration of her own words describing the events, decisions, and challenges of her life enhance the simple and compelling account of her struggles, her unending confidence in God, and her work among the poorest of the poor in India. Following her life from her childhood in Albania, via Dublin, to the streets of Calcutta, Blessed Mother Teresa exudes love, dignity, and faith.
The book was originally written in the Malayalam language (one of the many Indian languages) and translated into Hindi in 1998, winning the prestigious Kakkassery award for the best biography published in India. The new translation into English is as befittingly gracious as its subject. Blessed Mother Teresa was written with the full cooperation of Mother Teresa and after her death, with the endorsement of the Missionaries of Charity, the order she founded. 224 pages; Hardback.

How do you debunk that myth if you're a devout Catholic but your knowledge of Scripture is spotty? How do you get to the truth if you're a fervent non-Catholic but your understanding of Catholic Church teaching is shaky? (How do you do that if it's downright inaccurate?)
The Biblical Basis for the Catholic Faith is written for both audiences. In a non-confrontational manner, author John Salza quotes only from the Bible to explain the basic doctrine of the Catholic Church. Chapter after chapter focuses on doctrinal "hot spots" including sola Scriptura, Tradition, papal infallibility, the seven sacraments, Mary and the saints, justification, salvation, and purgatory.
Here is a book that not only proves that the Catholic Faith is Biblical, but also that Catholicism is Bible Christianity par excellence. Here is a book that makes a thoughtful and welcome gift for a family member or friend who has questions about the Catholic Church.
