A Child's True Story of Jesus, Book 2
A Child's True Story of Jesus, Book 2
by Sister Mary Ambrose, OP
Additional text by Mother Mary Loyola & Rev Aloysius Heeg

A Child's True Story of Jesus is not merely a coloring book, or the usual activity book with mazes, word searches and other puzzles.  This is an activity book in the truest sense of the word.


First created in 1928 by Sister Mary Ambrose, a Dominican Sister who was a Demonstration Teacher at the Loyola University Model School in the 20's and 30s's, this workbook found its genesis in the Montessorian principle of learning by doing.  Here, rather than merely hearing each lesson, the child is encouraged to reinforce what he or she has learned, first by using a picture to repeat the lesson in his or her own words, then by coloring, cutting and assembling the lesson to be finally pasted in the book.


In this newly edited version, we have enhanced the activity portion of this book with lesson material for the teacher which the original lacked.  Text supplied for the 57 lessons within has been adapted from works by Mother Mary Loyola (author of The King of the Golden City) and Rev. Joseph A. Dunney.  These begin with the Life of Christ and His Sacrifice on Calvary, then proceed to Confession and Communion, and finally cover the parts of the Mass.  All of these attributes make A Child's True Story of Jesus an ideal resource in preparation for the sacraments of First Confession and First Communion.

A Child's True Story of Jesus, Book 1
by Sister Mary Ambrose, OP
Additional text by Mother Mary Loyola & Rev Aloysius Heeg

A Child's True Story of Jesus is more than just a coloring book—the lessons and activities found within are designed to help children learn their basic prayers and the Mysteries of the Rosary, all within the context of the Gospels and the Mass.

First created in 1928 by Sister Mary Ambrose, a Dominican Sister who was a Demonstration Teacher at the Loyola University Model School in the 20’s and 30s’s, this workbook found its genesis in the Montessorian principle of learning by doing. Here, rather than merely hearing each lesson, the child is encouraged to reinforce what he or she has learned, first by using a picture to repeat the lesson in his or her own words, then by coloring the pictures, and by cutting and assembling the prayers to be pasted in the book.

In this newly edited version, we have enhanced the activity portion of this book by adding cutting and pasting activities that help the child to learn each of the prayers, starting with the Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be, before moving on to simplified versions of the Prayer Before a Crucifix, Spiritual Communion, and Acts of Faith, Hope and Love. These help the child to see that there are many ways of talking with God throughout each day, and by making prayer a habit, they can bring Him more closely into their lives.

Stations of the Cross, The

Stations of the Cross, The
by St. Alphonsus Liguori

When my children were young, during Lent we would try to pray the Stations of the Cross at home as a family, but we only had a little pocket-sized book, and the images were nice, but were too small for all the kids to see them. How I wished for a book like this one!

With beautiful full-color images of each Station, along with the traditional prayers of the Stations of the Cross by St. Alphonsus Liguori, this book has everything you need to pray the Stations at home, except for the crucifix.

King of the Golden City
King of the Golden City
by Mother Mary Loyola

The King of the Golden City is an allegorical tale which has stood the test of time because of the beauty of its symbolism and the richness of its spiritual advice. 

The book that began it all...

Mother Mary Loyola had used the simple allegory of a little maid and the gracious King who deigned to visit her as a catechetical tool for many years...a brief sketch of this story appears in The Children's Charter, her book of advice for parents and teachers published in 1911.  But it wasn't until 1919, when she sent a version of the story to P.J. Kenedy, an American publisher who took a keen interest in her work, that she began expanding what was originally a simple vignette into a full book-length story.  It then took two years before this book was finished and brought out to great acclaim. 

Though Mother Loyola knew that children would love this wonderful story, she could not have foreseen that it would be this, her only allegory and one of her last published works, that would rekindle an interest in her work many years later.

The Crusader on Vacation
The Crusader on Vacation
Nine Weeks of Vacation Readings For Children of the Eucharistic Crusade
by Anonymous

This beautifully illustrated book is aimed at members of this Eucharistic Crusade while they are on summer vacation, a time when the progress made in the spirit of the Crusade during the school year can be all too easily lost. For every week of vacation, there is a specific focus – sometimes the four elements of the Crusade motto, sometimes other more general topics like the Mass, the Priesthood, virtues and defects… Each day provides a short reading to deepen Crusaders’ knowledge and a beautiful story to give them examples they can imitate, thereby stimulating progress rather than regression.

God hears the innocent prayers of children, and their sacrifices and Communions are very pleasing to Him. Therefore, it is in the interests of the Church and society for as many children as possible to belong to the Eucharistic Crusade and for the spirit of this same Crusade to be kept alive in these young souls exposed to so much more dissipation and danger during summer vacation.

By the grace of God, this book will assist in this task.

Tale of the Origin of the Holy Roman Empire of Mice
Tale of the Origin of the Holy Roman Empire of Mice
by Jakub Bednarz

Many of the social structures that once formed strong and virtuous Catholic men and women have disappeared. Catholics are aware of the detrimental impact this reality has on their faith, families, and future. Yet there is still edifying literature available the signals a turning of the tide while providing examples of strong characters that can serve as models for young Catholics in their formative years.

This fairy tale draws deeply from Holy Scripture and Christian Tradition to create a world of Catholic mice and men. Filled with lessons of chivalry, honor, and courage, this literary work instills young readers with a deeper appreciation for their Catholic Faith while strengthening their devotion to God. Written with young readers (11+) in mind, this volume is an excellent addition to any Catholic library.

The Weight of a Mass (PB)
The Weight of a Mass
by Josephine Nobisso

When a poor devout widow begs for a scrap of bread from a rich faithless baker, she promises to participate in the king’s wedding mass as payment for the baker’s generosity. The baker writes “One Mass” on a scrap of paper and places it on his scale to determine how much bread it is worth. To his and the entire town’s surprise, nothing in the shop, not even the gigantic wedding cakes made for the king, outweighs the simple piece of paper representing the true worth of a Mass.

Luminous old-world watercolor paintings grace the interior of the book and gold foil artwork lends an air of solemnity and sacred beauty to the story. This has been a best-selling children's book since it was first published. 

Also available in hardcover.
