Collection of Short Works
by Mother Mary Loyola
This long-awaited anthology of all the minor works by Mother Mary Loyola is the fruit of many years of seeking. The relatively small size of the many booklets she wrote, mostly for the Catholic Truth Society, seems to have led over the years to the loss of most copies. Therefore it was no mean feat to assemble the most complete collection possible, including 13 of her 14 known pamphlets, as well as a bonus selection: a short essay published in a school magazine during the last year of Mother Loyola’s life. From her early How to Help the Sick and Dying to her biographical preface for the Maxims of Mary Ward, they can all be found in this volume. We hope that this will preserve them to future generations.

by Mother Margaret Bolton
In this life, all of us invariably meet with obstacles and problems. To overcome these difficulties can seem like an impossible task, especially if one has not developed habits of self-discipline, positive thinking and perseverance in faith.
Written during the early years of World War II, as a way to give hope to a world overshadowed with despair and uncertainty, this book seeks to anchor the reader in time-tested methods of self-discipline rooted in scripture and prayer.
Written by the author of The Spiritual Way, and filled with good advice and reflections, this little booklet is an ideal introduction to the spiritual life for young people as well as adults.

by Mother Margaret Bolton
After creating the Spiritual Way series, Mother Bolton created a series meant to prepare children for that series, as well as for First Confession and First Communion. This series, called "A Little Child’s First Communion” was carefully based on Psychological principles as well as Catholic Doctrine.
This manual, written to accompany that series, seeks to provide a broad spectrum of material on which the teacher may rely to enrich his or her own knowledge and understanding of the subject. Drawing from the Catechism, Scripture and the Church Fathers, this book provides an ample basis for the catechist in this crucial task.

by Mother Margaret Bolton
Mother Margaret Bolton began her career in 1892 as a public school teacher in New York City before entering the Convent of the Cenacle of St. Regis in 1913, where she soon became Director of Religion. To prepare younger children for the series, while also readying them for reception of the sacraments, she developed this series of six booklets called "A Little Child's First Communion."
Book One: God is Love
Book Two: God Loves Truth
Book Three: God Sent His Own Beloved Son
Book Four: The Holy Way, The Straight Way
Book Five: Temples of the Living God
Book Six: Come, Lord Jesus
All six booklets are included in this one volume.
Intended to be used either in parochial schools or in parish catechesis programs, this series involves the parents in their child's formation through stories and activities. When paired with its manual, called Foundational Principles for Catholic Doctrinal Action, the parent or teacher is supplied with an overview of the didactic methods as well as the basis for each of the concepts taught in the series, including quotes from Scripture, the Catechism and the Church Fathers.

by Rev. Jerome D. Hannan
Encouraged by the success of his first volume of stories for teaching children in the first grade, Fr. Jerome Hannan went on to create a second volume of similar stories for second grade. While the theme of this volume is centered upon the importance and necessity of prayer, beginning with a comprehensive explanation of the articles of the Apostle's Creed, this very exploration in fact presents to the child the principal mysteries of our faith in story and example.
