Items related to First Holy Communion
Synopsis
Arising directly from a parent's need, this is a clear account of how a parent or teacher can prepare a child for First Holy Communion without talking down to or patronizing the child. In the Roman Catholic Church, First Holy Communion is an event of the greatest significance. Mark Allen found no suitable published book to prepare his son for First Holy Communion, so he prepared this volume to help parents & teachers answer questions about the ceremony. Allen offers readings & background from scripture & catechism. The course provided in this book is based on a series of half-hourly sessions for parents or teachers to hold with a child preparing for their First Holy Communion. It is both practical & down to earth.

Review
“The author presents over 40 topics for consideration. Each consists of a key extract from the Bible, followed by a series of reflections on the reading. These extracts are aimed principally at the parent, with key ideas written in bold....Even more than that, the book also helps the parent to re-evaluate their own faith.” –The Universe, 2/6/05
