by Fr. Manousos
Originally published by the Catechetical Guild in 1955 (Imprimatur Francis Cardinal Spellman), this is a "comic" book unlike any other. The Sacraments is a detailed, fully illustrated, step by step explanation of all seven sacraments.
The book presents the theology of the sacraments in a manner easily understood by children and yet is incredibly interesting and informative for adults as well. This should come as no surprise to those who have read The Seven Sacraments, another Angelus Press reprint by Fr. Manousos, who has the amazing ability to take solid theology and present it to children...without dumbing it down.
This makes The Sacraments an excellent catechetical tool for all ages. All parts of the sacraments are explained: matter, form, minister, intention, Biblical basis, liturgical actions, including helpful suggestions for children to best prepare for the reception of the sacraments. Covers all seven Sacraments in an engrossing full color "comic"-style format. A perfect companion to Know Your Mass.

by Mother Mary Loyola
The Children's Charter was Mother Mary Loyola's response to Pope Pius X's 1910 decree Quam Singulari, which lowered the age for reception of First Communion to seven. Addressed directly to the parents and teachers of children, this is a rare peek into the classroom as Mother Loyola would have it. Here the author of The King of the Golden City gives sage advice for how best to capture and maintain the interest of little ones in preparing them for Confession and Communion. Despite the century that has passed since this book was first published, Mother Loyola's advice remains just as relevant, a testament to how well she knew how to reach the hearts and minds of children.

by Mother Mary Loyola
Mother Loyola's work on the subject of Confession is not merely groundbreaking, but seems to form one of the most crucial of her strengths, given that the Sacrament of Penance has always been the most avoidable and avoided of all; most Catholics express a distaste for it akin to torment. For her readers, however, such angst is inconceivable, as she does not merely help to remove all fear and discomfort associated with the Confessional; she also enkindles a deep sense of appreciation for the gift of the sacrament. This, in turn, fosters an eager anticipation of the grace it confers. Those who make use of Forgive us our Trespasses--whether children or adults--will find themselves seeking this healing Sacrament with regularity.
