My Confession Book

We have come across an amazing little book, a classic, which was first published in 1958 and has helped countless children with their First Confessions as well as with their subsequent Confessions. Boys and girls who use this book will receive wonderful help with making a careful Examination of Conscience in accord with the Ten Commandments, having true sorrow for their sins, making a firm Purpose of Amendment, and remembering what to do and say in the Confessional. Also included here are the Act of Contrition, Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be and many other prayers for before and after Holy Communion.

This book was specially designed to help children grow in goodness, purity, and love for Our Lord. Despite its small size, it is filled with the traditional Catholic teaching on the Sacrament of Penance and how to receive it well. My Confession Book can be a wonderful key to acquiring the habit of frequent Confession–a practice which has always been a giant step toward holiness.

St. Peter and the First Years of Christianity

Next to the period of Our Lord’s earthly life, the apostolic age that followed was—and is—the richest and most revealing for Christians. It was then that the blueprint for living the Gospels was drawn. Yet, for Catholics of the past two generations, the indispensable fruits of the Patristic Era have been all but memory holed,

Religion in Life Curriculum Second Grade

Teachers Plan book and Manual

Developed in the 1930s by the Marquette Institute of Catechetical Research, the Religion in Life Curriculum is more than just a Teacher’s Manual for use with its accompanying textbook series, The Highway to Heaven. It lays out an entire Religion Curriculum that includes music, art, reading and classroom activities.

This Second Grade Teachers Plan Book and Manual includes presentation material for the lessons contained in the First Grade text, The Life of My Savior, along with recommended reading and activities for student and teacher. Though many of these readings were taken from contemporary school readers now long out of print, these have been painstakingly collected and will be reprinted in a new anthology to accompany the series: The Magnificat Readers.

Please note: The lesson material for the Sacraments of First Confession and First Communion is not contained in this Second Grade Manual; it is found in the First Grade Manual.

This reprinted edition is an exact reproduction of the original manual, with the addition of material from the original 1931 curriculum overview volume, entitled A Curriculum in Religion, as well as a newly compiled appendix, listing all of the recommended supplementary texts.

Catholic Songs for Children

Catholic Songs for Children CD

Help your children learn their faith with these delightful songs from the 1950s! From the Ten Commandments to the Works of Mercy, these songs cover much of the Catechism and they do it in a way that is memorable as well as enjoyable. Our children listened to these songs regularly when they were little and it always delighted me to hear them humming or singing them to themselves. As they’ve gotten older, they have been thankful to find that they can remember their Works of Mercy in a snap!

The style of these songs varies somewhat but most have a 1940s/50s flair with a mix of a boy soloist, a girls’ trio reminiscent of the Andrews Sisters, a male choir and John Redmond himself. The musical quality is such that you won’t mind listening to them over and over–something that cannot always be said for children’s music.

We created this CD with brand-new transfers from the original vinyl records, and we even found an original, early recording of “I’m a Soldier in Christ’s Army” without the warping at the end, as well as a record with two new songs that have not been heard since the 1960’s: “The Best Christmas Present of All” and “I Want To Be a Little Missionary.”

Our CD comes with a booklet containing all the lyrics and a short biography of the composer, John Redmond.

These 27 songs include the following tracks:

1 Morning Offering

2 The Ten Commandments Song for Little Children (God’s Laws)

3 God Lives in Me (Baptism)

4 Whose Sins You Shall Forgive (Confession)

5 The Living Christ (Holy Communion)

Vade Mecum

The priests and seminarians of Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary realized early on that a book of daily prayers was needed for their use and edification. Thus was born the Vade Mecum, a Latin phrase which means “go with me.”

The term traditionally refers to a handbook or quick reference with instructions or information necessary for an individual.

In the context of seminary life, the Vade Mecum became a short prayerbook that would be small, portable and yet contain the basic and necessary prayers seminarians would offer each day.

This edition is based on that of the seminary, but with the laity in mind, providing a small treasury of daily prayers to aid your spiritual life.

We hope this Vade Mecum is spiritually profitable for you. Please pray for the priests and seminarians of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter.
