Ratings and reviews

This is a great, little book that is easy enough to understand and to help explain doctrine to people of all ages. The sketches allow the reader to visualize, making the understanding more concrete. If you are reading the Baltimore or Compendium Catechism, you will find this book a wonderful supplement. Imprimi Potest, Nihil Obstat, and Imprimatur show us that it is true to Church doctrine, everything from the Creed and Commandments to Sacraments and Prayer. We find information on the roles of the Three Persons of the Holy Trinity, the purpose of indulgences and Purgatory, what grace is, the importance of Mary, and the use of sacramentals. May the Lord bless you!

In 1938, he was ordained a priest and subsequently began missionary work in the coal and steel regions of the United States.
