Letters to an Altar Boy
Letters to an Altar Boy
by Fr David E. Rosage
This is a book of letters for all altar boys who, from the smallest one up, are the most important people in their parishes. God's Minutemen is what the author affectionately calls them, for he knows that they are always ready for duty as altar boys, no matter what the personal cost. The author writes this book with the hope that in these letters all acolytes may find encouragement to continue being loyal and faithful in their service of our Lord. Father Rosage shows them that while serving Mass is the greatest honor and the biggest job in the parish, it does demand sacrifice. He knows that being on call for duty isn't always easy, and he aims at convincing the boys who have to get up on cold winter mornings to serve early Mass of the great privilege that is theirs.
Written in an easy flowing style intelligible to even the very young boys, the book is full of helpful pointers about the correct manner of serving, the necessity of being on time, and many other details on which a boy may slip. It offers inspiration and high motivation for living up to the ideals that a Mass server is committed to follow. An extremely practical book, it leaves not one phase of the altar boy's life untouched. . .

The Mass for Children & Our Sacraments Hardcover Set
The Mass for Children and
Our Sacraments
by Msgr William Kelly
This charming pair of Catholic children’s classics have been carefully reprinted from the original 1925 and 1927 editions in a matching hardback set.
The Mass For Children
This little book gives an explanation of the Mass that is both inspirational and easy-to-understand.
“The author of this wonderful little book has devised a plan which rends the veil and simplifies all necessary explanations. He knows how to approach the mind and heart of a child. He uses this gifted insight in presenting to the child the sublime drama of the Mass in a most appealing way. The language is simple, the explanations numerous and complete, the stories apt and compelling, and the pictures superb and arising naturally from the text.
This book should hold first place on the list of supplementary readers. Better still, it will serve as an instructive prayer-book during the Mass. It will make the Holy Sacrifice better known and better loved by children. Adults too, will read it with interest and with profit, and will regret that it did not come earlier in their lives.” -Joseph Smith, Superintendent of Catholic Schools, 1925
Hardcover with colour illustrations, size 7" x5.5", 64 pages
Our Sacraments
This wholesome children’s book consists of a series of stories that illustrate the layers of meaning and symbolism in the sacraments. The author himself describes the book to children in the following way:
“My Dear Boys and Girls, When Our Lord was here on earth He helped people to understand His teachings by telling them stories. Now in this little book there are stories that will help you. They will help you understand what the Church teaches about the seven wonderful sacraments. As you read the stories and look at the pictures, you will see for yourselves what the sacraments are and what they do, and your catechism lessons will, I hope, be made easier and more interesting.” -Father Kelly, Feast of the Ascension, 1927

His Own Received Him Not
His Own Received Him Not
by J.K. Wittbrodt
“Studying the history of the English Reformation can help us to see how a handful of people—educated, well-positioned and imbued with revolutionary ideology—can force unwanted and destructive changes onto a peaceful nation by using their political power, propaganda, agitation and stirring up riotous mobs of big cities. It happened numerous times during the history of mankind. It always brought about huge economic losses and the murder of a large number of innocent citizens of the society in which the turmoil was instigated by the revolutionary activists.” - J.K. Wittbrodt, Author’s Note
“This book is about those who gave their life for the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, saints who were outlawed, mocked and hated by the ruling elite of their times. Their great conflict was played out in prison, in torture chambers and on the scaffold. They gained victory by witnessing to the Catholic dogma of the Mass as a bloodless sacrifice and Christ’s Real Presence in the Eucharist. Most of them were priests, fugitive in their homeland, who were caught by the pursuivants while saying Mass. Others were lay men and women attending the banned Catholic worship or hiding hunted priests. Some of them were bishops who first fell into schism with Henry VIII due to their cowardice but redeemed themselves during the reign of Edward VI and Elizabeth I by standing up for Catholic dogmas, especially for the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. May the example of these saintly English heroes increase our devotion to the Holy Sacrifice of the Altar in our troubled times plagued by disbelief in the sacrificial nature of the Mass and irreverence towards the Blessed Eucharist.” -J.K. Wittbrodt, Author’s Note
This stunning book is a fascinating and essential read for all Catholics of today. Much is to be learned from these heroes who not only kept the Faith but spread it in spite of an anti-catholic government who sought their destruction at all times and at every turn. A must-have for every catholic library.

The Woman Who Was Magdalen
The Woman Who Was Magdalen
by Fr Pius Cavanagh, O.P.
Shrouded in 2,000 years of history, the woman we know as St. Mary Magdalen has been honored by Catholics around the world. But who was she? Few have been so privileged to approach Christ, even in penance, as this glorious saint. It was she who proclaimed the Resurrection to the Apostles after having been the first to the tomb. It was she who stood at the foot of the cross next to the Mother of God, who twice anointed Christ, and sat at His feet.
Noble, rich, and possessing strong personal beauty, charm, and conviction, her story radiates through time. All who read it are illumined while being left with the conviction that here indeed is a woman who has earned the title, “Masterpiece of God’s Grace.”
Her inspiring story unfolds from the first moment of meeting Christ and continues throughout her earthly existence. This account of Mary’s life is a compilation of the writings of many saints, from whose works the author weaves an inspiring story that holds much for the modern reader.
St. Augustine, St. Albert, St. Cyprian, St. Catherine, St. Gregory, Ven. Bede, St. Basil, and St. Bernard are just a few of the monumental saints of history who have written her story and whose words of praise for her are contained herein. They learned that while we as Catholics must offer penance and prayer for past sins and gratitude for blessings, it is not enough to satisfy what God wants of us. The sustaining motivation of our life is the absolute certainty that Christ loves us completely and therefore should be loved to the fullest extent of our abilities in return.
This little volume will assist those looking for the strength and conviction to live a life inspired by Christ’s love and who, like Mary Magdalen, wish to return to Him the endless love Our Lord has for our souls.

The Ottaviani Intervention
The Ottaviani Intervention
A Brief Critical Study of the New Order of Mass
by Alfredo Cardinal Ottaviani, Antonio Cardinal Bacci and a group of Roman Theologians
A RESPONSE TO ONE OF THE MOST CRITICAL MOMENTS IN THE HISTORY OF THE CHURCH
"It is evident that the Novus Ordo has no intention of presenting the faith as taught by the Council of Trent, to which, nonetheless, the Catholic conscience is bound forever. With the promulgation of the Novus Ordo, the loyal Catholic is thus faced with a most tragic alternative."
This statement, made with absolute and definitive clarity, from Section VI of the Ottaviani Intervention, was made in response to what might be considered one of the most critical moments in the history of the Catholic Church since the original Pentecost Sunday, the traditional worship of the Roman Church was about to be replaced.
The issue of the ongoing litugical revolution in the Catholic Church became critical on April 28, 1969, when Paul VI announced the Novus Ordo Missae. It was the last chance for action within the traditional channels of ecclesiastical authority. Somehow the pope had to be dissuaded from implementing this substitute for the traditional Catholic Mass of the Roman Rite. This attempt, ultimately unsuccessful, was done in A Critical Study of the New Order of Mass...or what has become known as the "Ottaviani Intervention."

Mother Love
Mother Love
A Manual for Christian Mothers
by a Priest of the Capuchin Order
"What on God's good earth is more glorious than this; to be a mother?"
With these words, Cardinal Mindzenty, summed up the glories of maternity, ordered toward the creation of new saints for the kingdom of God. And yet, the life of the mother is not an easy one. Between helping her husband, caring for her children, trips to school, the doctor, the grocery store, not to mention housework, cooking, and more, the life of a mother can lose it's proper focus: the glory of God. Add to this an increasingly hostile modern world who thinks little of mothers and offers little help and support and the situation is overwhelming.
To help Catholic mothers sanctify themselves in their state in life, and through that, to sanctify their homes as well, we have printed the original, unadulterated version of Mother Love, a complete prayer and devotional book, just for moms!
Originally written in the late 1800s by a priest of the Capuchin order, this "manual for Christian mothers" contains:
It contains almost everything a mother needs to nurture and grow her spiritual life, so that through their sanctification they may sanctify their husbands and children, and truly become the heart of the Catholic home.

A Guide to Manhood For Boys
A Guide to Manhood For Boys
previously know as Young Man of Character
by Bishop Tihamer Toth
In A Guide to Building Manhood, Bishop Tihamer Toth outlines the specific steps and qualities that boys must cultivate to develop into virtuous Catholic men. Toth's vision of forming strong, virtuous men rests on instilling self-discipline, personal responsibility, and a distinct code of Catholic conduct from an early age. This process aims to transform the natural selfishness of childhood into a selfless orientation towards the good of others. The code of conduct outlined serves as a guiding light, steering boys away from self-centered impulses and towards developing qualities that are essential for true masculine strength and honour.
To name a few virtues presented and discussed:
By mastering self-discipline and embracing this ethical framework, the once self-absorbed child is transformed into a man who embodies Catholic ideals. He becomes someone who yearns not for personal glory, but to be a force for good: a protector, role model, and inspiration to all he encounters. The code serves as a bulwark against moral corruption, empowering men to resist societal pressures and remain steadfast in their pursuit of virtue.

It's so easy to lose sight of God in our busy world. But the Church gave us the answer from the very beginning when she structured her official prayer around a framework of the psalms prayed eight times a day so that within one week, all 150 psalms are said.
Prayers for all hours
Here you have the most critical hours of the Divine Office for the layman in the world. Prime is the perfect Morning Prayer, Compline the perfect night prayer, and Sext is for the middle of the day.
Join your voice with the Church and Her members!
This is better than private prayer; it's the prayer of the entire Mystical Body because you pray with one heart with the millions of other clerics, religious and laymen around the world who have prayed and are praying these exact same prayers, AND because you adopt the intentions of the psalmist as you pray.
When understood correctly (this edition has a short explanation preceding each psalm), these are the intentions for which Holy Mother Church wants us to pray for ourselves, for the Church and for all the members of the Mystical Body of Christ.
Our Lord, our Lady, and the Saints prayed these psalms.

From Trinity Sunday to Assumption
From Trinity Sunday to the Assumption
Daily Readings and Meditations to Pray Alone or as a Family
by Fr Patrick Troadec
This installment begins with the contemplation of the Trinity, continues with that of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament and the Sacred Heart, and finally turns to the importance of cultivating the presence of God. Over the course of these Sundays, the liturgy directs us to foster certain qualities of soul, gradually correcting our faults and increasing our virtues. Since summer is often a time when we “let down our guard,” spiritually speaking, this book is offered to help you to maintain your fervor!
Each of the daily meditations covered in this book includes a:
Quote: Taken from the Bible, The Mass, or the Spiritual Fathers.
Meditation: A particular truth of the Faith and how it applies to us.
Prayer: Two short daily prayers for the reader to choose from.
Thoughts: Daily recollections that illustrate a profound point.
Resolution: Three simple and practical resolutions.
“Everyone, whatever his state of life, will find matter for spiritual progress in this daily reading. Even just the thought for the day may sometimes be enough to inspire meditation and give a beautiful orientation to the whole day. Dear readers, I am happy to be able to offer you this new booklet and I wish you a Season after Pentecost that is rich in graces. I assure you of my prayers and recommend myself to yours. -Fr. Patrick Troadec

Daily Readings and Meditations to Pray Alone or as a Family
by Fr. Patrick Troadec
This volume is the last in the best-selling daily liturgical reader and meditation series. The meditations and reflections in this book cover different aspects of the Christian life, addressing our duties toward God, toward our neighbor, and toward ourselves. Every season presents an opportunity to renew our fervor with good, practical resolutions. With this goal in view, a certain number of meditations focus on the life we are leading and the meaning of the trials we endure. Still others bring us before the questions surrounding the close of our lives and the Last Four Things (Death, Judgment, Heaven, and Hell). Finally, other meditations remind us that we are children of God and help us live daily in the company of God and His angels and saints.

Life of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Comic)
Life of the Blessed Virgin Mary
by Fr. Manousos
Originally published by the Catechetical Guild in the 1950's, this is the "comic" book companion to The Life of Christ. Both illustrated by Addison Burbank in full color.
The book presents the life of Mary in an engrossing full color "comic"-style format. Starting in the Garden of Eden when God promised to send a woman who would battle Satan...a battle "between thy offspring and hers" through her Assumption into Heaven. Adults and children alike will find the seamless integration of the Gospels informative.
An ideal companion to Know Your Mass, which presents the unbloody Sacrifice of the Mass...here, children learn about she who best assisted at the bloody sacrifice of Calvary...she who we are to imitate in our assistance at the unbloody Sacrifice of the Mass.
Digitally remastered from a 1950's original. Like all of Fr. Manousos's children's books, this one is doctrinally profound, yet accessible to children without being dumbed-down...making it useful for many adults as well.
Great for religion classes and makes an excellent gift for the Feast of St. Nicholas, Christmas, Epiphany, Easter, First Holy Communion, name days, birthdays, etc. Highly recommended.
