TODAY I MADE MY FIRST COMMUNION
Product Description
Author: Dianne Ahern. Illustrated by Katherine Larson. 52p. HB
What happens when an affable parish priest is confronted with a pair of curious second graders who want to help him solve the Mystery of the Eucharist? Why, he turns it into a teaching opportunity for the entire First Communion class.
Join Maria and Riley and their classmates as they learn from Father Hugo and other parish staff that the things found in their church, the prayers they say, the songs they sing, and the Mass all point to Jesus and the Eucharist. Among the book’s captivating illustrations is a rendering of a church identifying all those curious things found in the Catholic Church. The reference section includes things children should know before making their First Communion. Because this is such a special day, the book provides a section for the First Communicant and his or her family to record the events of this day.
