A Prayerbook for First Communion
This delightful and informative prayerbook is a great daily companion for children preparing for First Communion. The simple and heartfelt prayers help them express their joy and anticipation as they prepare to receive Jesus for the first time. Simple explanations and invitations to action accompany each prayer.

From Mark Fischer
A Prayerbook for Parish Councilors
Here, in addition to pertinent and beautiful prayers, councilors will find direction about their role in relation to the pastor and the parish at large. The prayers express the councilors call to ministry in partnership with the pastor, as well as the hopes, joys, and frustrations every councilor sometimes experiences. A great daily companion for all who serve as parish councilors.
