Celebrating Sunday for Catholic Families 2013-2014 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

Easter Bunny's Amazing Day BEST SELLER!
Easter Bunny's Amazing Day
From the heart of two St. Louis sisters, comes a new story of the very first Easter Bunny. Easter Bunny’s Amazing Day introduces young children everywhere to a fearful bunny who has an amazing experience on the first Easter morning that changes him forever. In his own words, the Bunny shares his story; a tale of action, adventure, miracles and great love—all beautifully illustrated by Saint Louis artist, Jonathan Sundy.

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.

    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 (Item #88252)

    Understanding the Revised Mass Texts Leader's Edition, Second Edition
    Paul Turner with additional material by Kathy Coffey

    New words . . . deeper meaning, same Mass.
    You may have heard that there will be some changes to what we hear and say at Mass. Mass will remain the same, but some of the words will be different.

    Prepare for these changes with Understanding the Revised Mass Texts Leader's Edition. Because changes have been made to the Order of Mass since its recognitio in 2008, a second edition of Understanding the Revised Mass Texts Leader's Edition is now available. The second edition of this Leader's Edition is the companion to the booklet, Understanding the Revised Mass Texts, written by Paul Turner with additional material by Kathy Coffey. The booklet is reprinted in this Leader's Edition with page specific catechetical notes for adult faith formation session leaders.

    Inside you will find:

    • A pastoral introduction;
    • Outlines for eight adult faith-formation sessions;
    • An image of the corresponding page from the Understanding the Revised Mass Texts booklet with marginal notes explaining each page;
    • Annotations for matching up the leader’s edition with the pamphlets;
    • Arrows and highlighted texts emphasizing important concepts;
    • Charts comparing the current and forthcoming translations;
    • Engaging questions for discussion during sessions;
    • Take home reflections;
    • A notes section for you to write down thoughts and idea.
    It will assist you in:
    • Training parish staff to answer questions about how and why the revisions were made;
    • Preparing presentations and homilies explaining how the translation is rooted in scripture;
    • Creating faith formation sessions that prepare parishioners for the responses they will soon say.
    The following changes have been made to the Order of Mass since its recognitio in 2008. These changes will be reflected in the second edition of Understanding the Revised Mass Texts Leader's Edition.
    • The words of absolution in the Penitential Act have been modified (so that the text of the current edition of The Sacramentary is maintained);
    • The addition of "I believe" at three points in the Profession of Faith;
    • Several slight modifications to the texts of the Eucharistic Prayers;
    • The final doxology of the Eucharistic Prayer has been slightly altered.

    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
