The Women Doctors of the Church is a beautifully illustrated introduction for children to four extraordinary women who have helped shape the Church. Saint Hildegard of Bingen, Saint Teresa of Ávila, Saint Catherine of Siena, and Saint Thérèse of Lisieux all faced unique challenges in their lives but fixed their identities firmly in Christ and became incredible examples of holiness.
In this adoration treasury, written by two Sisters of St. Francis of Perpetual Adoration — a religious order dedicated to perpetual adoration of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament — young Catholics will find a multitude of prayers, hymns, meditations, and ways to pray before the Eucharist, accompanied by beautiful illustrations.
In This Catholic Church, a beautifully illustrated cumulative tale, celebrates our Church as a true family, from the people and families in the pews to the priest at the altar, and the love of Jesus Christ who abides in the hearts of his people. This book will help children form a deeper understanding and appreciation for their parish family and how and why we pray together as the Body of Christ at Mass.
