A Little Child's First Communion

Mother Margaret Bolton began her career in 1892 as a public school teacher in New York City before entering the Convent of the Cenacle of St. Regis in 1913, where she soon became Director of Religion. There she developed a method of teaching the novices that she adapted for use with children. This system eventually became the four books of "The Spiritual Way" series, intended for grades 3 through 7. To prepare younger children for the series, while also readying them for reception of the sacraments, she developed this series of six booklets called "A Little Child's First Communion." Book One: God is Love Book Two: God Loves Truth Book Three: God Sent His Own Beloved Son Book Four: The Holy Way, The Straight Way Book Five: Temples of the Living God Book Six: Come, Lord Jesus All six booklets are included in this volume. Intended to be used either in parochial schools or in parish catechesis programs, this series involves the parents in their child's formation through stories and activities. When paired with its manual, called "Foundational Principles for Catholic Doctrinal Action," the parent or teacher is supplied with an overview of the didactic methods as well as the basis for each of the concepts taught in the series, including quotes from Scripture, the Catechism and the Church Fathers.
