Begin the Eucharistic Revival with the Children of Your Parish!

 

Already on its fifth printingThe Confession of Grace is a fictional story written for the young elementary age student. This engaging book can be read in a faith-formation class, in a Catholic school, or at home with the child. 

 

The beauty behind this book is that it instructs young people about the Church's teaching on the Sacrament of Confession, but it does so within the context of the story. Children won't even realize they are learning because they will be engrossed in the story.

 

The Confession of Grace carries the Imprimatur, assuring that its material is consistent with Catholic doctrine. With easy-to-read text and delightful illustrations, this book is a must-have for every classroom and Catholic family.

The sequel to the popular Confession of Grace! Philomena Press is excited to announce

A Communion of the Heart by author Pamela Patnode.

 

Now available in Spanish!

 

 

“What is the best way to receive Holy Communion?” (The answer might surprise you!)

 

 

“What is a monstrance?”

“Why do we genuflect and make the Sign of the Cross?”

“Isn’t the Eucharist just a symbol?”

These are just some of the questions that are discussed and answered in this enchanting story. Young children (and many adults) will learn much about our rich Catholic faith by reading A Communion of the Heart.

Best of all, it’s not a textbook listing facts and vocabulary words in boldface type. Rather, it instructs children about our Faith using the most proven teaching method around: story-telling.

Do you work with Hispanic/Latino students?

If so, this is a must read.

Dr. Pamela Patnode partnered with the National Catholic Educational Association to publish a book for parish administrators and Catholic school educators who work with Hispanic/Latino students. Me Puede Enseñar? (Can You Teach Me?)

 

According to researchers, the ELL population is the fastest growing student population in the United States. It is also a population that is at high risk for failure in American schools. Moreover, the challenging events of the past year have brought to the forefront numerous discussions about race, equity, and academic gaps. These are important and necessary conversations—and Catholic schools have much to contribute to the conversations and the solutions.
