Celebrating Sunday for Catholic Families 2013-2014
Margaret M. Brennan
Celebrating Sunday for Catholic Families 2013-2014 provides a
simple and approachable way for families to integrate what they hear at
Sunday Mass into their daily lives. This resource encourages family
attendance at Mass by providing parents with an explanation of the
Sunday Gospel, prompts for family conversation and reflection in the car
on the way to and from Mass, and suggestions for simple family
activities.
“For parents constantly on the go, this reflection on the Sunday Gospel
readings is a wonderful tool that can be used in the car, in the
kitchen, or in a favorite family gathering spot in your home to be the
kick-off for preparing the family for Sunday Mass. Celebrating
Sunday for Catholic Families gives a quick rundown on the Gospel
story, a brief reflection on its impact on life, and ways of thinking
about the story as a family as you go to and from church. Using this
tool is a great way to help the family share at a deeper level about the
Liturgy of the Word, naturally incorporating the Word into the family
conversation.”
Esther S. Hicks, Office of Catholic Schools, Archdiocese of Chicago
Paperback, 5 1/4 x 8 3/8, 128 pages (Item #*LTP-CSCF14) $5.00 |

Parish Guide to Implementing the Roman Missal, Third Edition
Over forty years have passed since 1969 when the first translation
of the Mass into English was issued. Much has changed-including our
ability to understand, articulate, and translate the words we use
during the Eucharist. We hope that this parish guide will help
leaders-priests, liturgists, musicians, DREs, principals, teachers,
youth ministers, and volunteers-bring this new translation to life
in the parish. The guide includes practical resources to create the
parish implementation plan including a calendar, ministry-specific
suggestions, "to do" lists, bulletin inserts, homily helps, and a
comprehensive bibliography of other available materials. Reawaken
your parish's love for the Eucharist as you introduce them to the
changes in what they say and hear through the simple, practical
steps laid out in this parish guide. 88 pages, paperback

More Than A
Message
By the Southside Dragons,
2010-2011 Sophomore Class at St. Mary's High School
Forward by: Most Reverend Robert Carlson, Archbishop of St. Louis
When we selected "More Than A Message" as the title for our book we
were looking for something catchy that may inspire people to take a closer
look. We did not realize that our chosen title may very well reveal the
book's true purpose. We believe this collection of our poems, all written as
part of a class in our sophomore curriculum, is a worthy contribution to the
literary landscape. But it is more than that. There is a wisdom dwelling in
the heart and soul of every young person, a wisdom our world needs in
troubled times. We do not claim to have all the answers, but young people
everywhere are asking the right questions. We invite you to read the poems a
couple of times. Some of them belong with your finest collections, others
may not be ready yet for prime time. But all of them are expressed from
within the imagination of young people who have something very important to
say. Perhaps you can find your own questions in the midst of these poems.
Your reading, just as our writing, will contribute meaning to the world.
All proceeds from the sales of "More Than A Message" support the important
work of our St. Vincent de Paul Society. 6x9, 108 pages, paperback

The Living Mass
As the Catholic Church revises the Roman
Missal, you may have some questions:
Why is there a new translation?
Why are changes being made?
Who makes those changes and what criteria do they use?
What are the actual changes?This book will
seek to answer these important questions, as well as to give some
insight into the history of the development of the Roman Missal from
early Church times, through the Middle Ages, through the different
Church councils, and up to the present day. A comparison of each
change features old and new text side-by-side with the changes
highlighted in bold type. Both the presider's texts and the
assembly's texts will be addressed.
Like any language or form of expression, liturgy
is both dynamic and evolving. However, it is also rich in history
and tradition. By looking at the changes being made in the new
translation of the Roman missal, this book will help the reader
understand why our liturgy continues to be both a new tradition and
a living tradition. 64 page paperback (Item #81643) $4.99 |

The response to the tale so far has been remarkable. As it turns out- this book is appealing to the heart of the child of any age. Adults are saying, “I never teared up before reading a children’s book.” A mother writes, “My children were immediately drawn into this story by the beautiful and endearing illustrations. This narrative is a wonderful way to communicate the religious meaning of Easter through our cultural idea of the Easter Bunny. It will be a favorite in our house for years to come!” An older man with some dementia is now reading the book two to three times a day because it calms him. Pre-school and elementary teachers love the book themselves and are grateful to finally have this unique story of the first Easter that includes everyone’s favorite bunny. Even a ten year old boy commented, “This is a good book.”
First time authors, Carol Benoist and Cathy Gilmore are delighted! They set out to write a simple story, but they just might be transforming the way that young children experience Easter. For every child who is stuffing his or her cheeks with jelly beans and chocolate bunny ears, it’s as if the sisters lean in to whisper, “But wait, there’s more…” Easter Bunny’s Amazing Day is a gift to us all.
