Customer Reviews

Beautiful keepsake book

I was looking for a gift that would serve as a momento of my daughter`s First Communion. This book hit the spot! It is a beautiful hard covered book with colourful illustrations. It explains the `process` of communion, reinforces the lessons taught during the preparatory course (the proper terms for typical Church items, for example), as well it has several pages for personal souvenirs: pictures, pages to be filled in regarding guests, priest`s name, etc. This is a beautiful book!

My 1st Communion

Great! My niece loved this Book and couldn't put it down the entire day. We wrote in it together the day before and then on the day of she read it with other girls her age at her party. It will be a great memory for us to share in years to come!

Wonderful resource

I bought this book as a gift for my daughter's birthday so she would have it before she made her First Communion. We read one or two chapters a week as a review of her CCD program (to ensure we covered any gaps). She enjoyed the story and loved filling in the memory pages at the back of the book. What a wonderful Catholic resource! Highly recommended. Also consider getting the companion book Today I Made My First Reconciliation.

simply wonderful

This book is a must read not only for children who are about to make their First Communion, but for the parents of the children as well. It's an easy to read book that takes you step by step through the process of this special day in their lives. Children will love it not only for the writing, but for the beautiful illustrations. Parents will love it because it's a wonderful refresher course as they recall their own First Communion.

Mom in San Diego

My daughter received this book for her First Communion. We just finished reading it together and I don't know who learned more. The story kept us both entertained. She could identify with the children in the story and loved the 'mystery' aspect. The explanation of things found in the church and the Mass, though detailed, are kid-friendly. I just love everythning about this book and highly recommend it.
