In this practical and uplifting spiritual guide for parents, Tommy and Katie McGrady--hosts of Family Mass Prep on the Hallow app--share short, inspiring, down-to-earth stories from their own family life to encourage you again and again as you walk with your child toward First Communion and into a lifelong, ever-deepening friendship with Jesus.

Drawing from their personal experience of growing in faith alongside their daughter Rose, the McGradys offer wisdom on helping children (and parents!) understand the beauty of the Eucharist and the joy of meeting Christ in Holy Communion. Designed to complement the sacramental preparation program at your parish, this small but powerful book can become a spiritual companion and keepsake for years to come.

First Communion and Beyond is organized into five chapters, each one built around five practical tools or family habits for nurturing spiritual growth for you and for your child. Each habit leads you to a better understanding of what the Catholic Church teaches about the Eucharist:

1. Joining Our Stories to the Church's Story: Discover how to weave Eucharistic awareness into the rhythm of daily life.

2. Learning from Scripture: Explore parent-friendly reflections on the gospels and key moments from the Mass that reveal how deeply Jesus desires to be with us in the Eucharist.

3. Thinking and Growing as Parents: Pause to reflect, pray, and deepen your own spiritual life as you guide your child's.

4. Growing Together as Parents and Children: Use simple but meaningful conversations to help your family connect more deeply with each chapter's theme.

5. Praying as a Family: End your time together with a heartfelt prayer from the McGradys--or one of your own.

With warmth, humor, and a deep love for the faith, the McGradys remind us that First Communion is about far more than a single day--it's about nurturing a lifelong relationship with Jesus. As they explain, it's about "helping our children take Jesus from the abstractions of what we believe about him and instead see him fully present in the everyday realities of their young lives. Preparing for First Communion ought to teach our children--and remind us--how to know and love Jesus in their hearts, in the scriptures, in the Eucharist, and in all the other people life brings their way."

St. Joseph First Communion Catechism (No. 0) 978-0-89942-240-4

The four volumes in the Saint Joseph Catechism series endeavor to assist catechists and educators in the spiritual formation of the youths in their care as well as parents who are raising their children in the Faith. This series has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism of the Catholic Church by the Subcommittee on the Catechism, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. These books give the revised text of the Official Baltimore Catechism in a more modern format and design and explain Catholic doctrine with the aid of many exclusive features.

The first volume was developed for children in Grades 1 and 2, with a focus on teaching the fundamental beliefs, practices, and prayers of Faith to those preparing for First Communion. An excellent gift for the young Catholic in your life.

Among the Features of this book:

  • Uses an effective Question-and-Answer format to convey the essential elements of Catholic doctrine

    A catechism serves as a foundational tool for educating Catholic youth in the core teachings of the faith. It provides structured instruction on essential doctrines, including the nature of God, the sacraments, the Ten Commandments, and the teachings of Jesus Christ. By presenting these truths in a clear and systematic way, a catechism ensures that young Catholics develop a strong theological and moral foundation.

    In a world filled with competing ideologies and moral relativism, a catechism offers young believers a solid framework for understanding right and wrong. It helps them cultivate a well-formed conscience, equipping them to make ethical decisions in accordance with Church teachings. This is especially important in adolescence when many face peer pressure and societal influences that challenge their faith.

    Additionally, a catechism fosters a sense of identity and belonging within the Catholic Church. By learning about Church history, traditions, and practices, youth develop a deeper connection to their faith community. It also prepares them for full participation in the sacramental life of the Church, particularly in Confirmation, where they affirm their commitment to Christ.

    Ultimately, a catechism is not just about intellectual formation--it nurtures a lifelong relationship with God, guiding Catholic youth toward holiness and a life of faith, hope, and charity.

    Chapters Include:

  • Part One-God
  • Part Two-Creation
  • Part Three Jesus Christ
  • Part Four-The Holy Spirit
  • Part Five-The Church
  • Part Six-The Sacraments
  • Part Seven-The Sins of Man
  • Part Eight-The Moral Life
  • Part Nine-The Moral Life
  • Part Ten-Mary and the Saints
  • Part Eleven-Union with God in Heaven
  • Appendices - The ten Commandments, The Beatitudes, Duties of Catholics
  • General Prayers

    • The New Saint Joseph First Communion Catechism from Catholic Book Publishing contains the revised text of the official Baltimore Catechism (No. 0) in a user-friendly format and design. Written for children in Grades 1 and 2, this book explains Catholic doctrine with the aid of many exclusive features, including many pictures to help children understand each lesson. Extensive use of Sacred Scripture demonstrates the basis of Catholic doctrine and brings it to life. This book combines a contemporary viewpoint and language with a solid time-tested exposition of Catholic Church teachings.

    One of 101 titles in the St. Joseph Picture Book Series, this book by popular author Father Lovasik, S.V.D., teaches children the importance of Jesus' Body and Blood. The Eucharist is one of the most important parts of being a Catholic. It's a very special way we can be close to Jesus. At every Mass, when the bread and wine are blessed by the priest, they become the Body and Blood of Jesus. This happens because Jesus told us at the Last Supper, "This is my body... this is my blood... do this in memory of me."
    The Eucharist is like food for our souls. Just like we eat food to stay strong and healthy, receiving the Eucharist helps us grow in our faith and stay close to Jesus. When we receive Him in Holy Communion, Jesus comes into our hearts and gives us His love, peace, and strength.
    The Eucharist also reminds us that Jesus is always with us. Even though we can't see Him, He is truly present in the Eucharist. This is why we kneel and pray in front of the tabernacle, where the Eucharist is kept.
    When we receive the Eucharist, it helps us to be more like Jesus. It teaches us to love others, forgive, and share. It brings us closer to God and to everyone in our Church family.
    The Eucharist is Jesus' special gift to us, a sign of His love and a way for us to stay connected with Him forever. It's a moment of great joy and thanksgiving!
    Specific topics covered in this title include:

  • The Sacrifice of Cain and Abel
  • Abraham's Sacrifice
  • The Passover
  • Jesus Celebrates the Passover
  • The Institution of the Holy Eucharist

    Charming Catholic friends Fulton and Cynthia return in this vivid comic book to take children on a simple yet profound journey through the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

    Children will learn about God's plan of salvation and how the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist is at the very heart of our Faith. This engaging book explores how the Old Testament is fulfilled in the New and unveils the beautiful typology found in Scripture, such as how Mary-the new Eve-bore Jesus, the fruit of her womb, for our redemption. You'll be inspired as you explore new insights into how Moses and the Passover relate to the Last Supper and Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

    Best of all, this book will equip you to share with family and friends:

  • Belief in the Holy Trinity, the Incarnation, and the purpose of our creation
  • God's covenant relationships in Scripture and His Covenant with us today
  • The story of our redemption and God's invitation to the eternal wedding banquet
  • How God's instructions regarding Old Testament worship continue into today's Liturgy
  • The significance of the Sacraments and deep meaning behind the various elements of the Mass

    • Moreover, you'll learn how to physically and spiritually prepare for Mass and draw graces from each part of the liturgy, from the opening procession and Liturgy of the Word to the Liturgy of the Eucharist and dismissal. You'll also discover how the Our Father signifies each act of worship in the Holy Mass and the underlying meaning of incense, candles, vestments, and more.

    A perfect gift for first communion and confirmation, this potent book explores various Eucharistic miracles, such as the Miracle of Lanciano, and offers glimpses of saints and their teachings relating to the Eucharist and the Holy Mass. Indeed, you'll rejoice as your children absorb clear teachings of the eternal truths concerning the source and summit of our rich, historical faith- the Holy Eucharist-brought to us through the hands of the priest.

    Receiving Holy Communion is a very important part of being Catholic because it is how we receive Jesus in a special way. At Mass, during the Liturgy of the Eucharist, the bread and wine are changed into the Body and Blood of Jesus. This is called transubstantiation. When we receive the Eucharist, we are not just eating bread; we are receiving Jesus Himself, who gives us strength, love, and grace to live good and holy lives.

    The Eucharist is sometimes called Holy Communion because it brings us into a close relationship, or communion, with Jesus. It helps us grow closer to Him and reminds us that He is always with us. By receiving the Eucharist, we are also united with other Catholics around the world who share in this special meal.


    Jesus gave us the Eucharist at the Last Supper, saying, "Do this in memory of me." He wanted us to remember His love and sacrifice for us. When we receive the Eucharist, we are remembering what Jesus did on the cross to save us from sin and how much He loves us.


    For children, receiving the Eucharist for the first time is a very special moment because it is a big step in their faith journey. It helps them grow in their relationship with Jesus and strengthens them to live as He taught us, by loving God and others. The Eucharist is a gift that keeps us close to Jesus throughout our lives.

    Topics covered in this title include:

  • The Institution of the Holy Eucharist
  • Jesus Offers Himself in the Mass
  • The Mass - Our Greatest Gift to God
  • Holy Communion Helps Us to Love God and Each Other
  • Conditions for Receiving Holy Communion
  • Examining Your Conscience
  • Getting Ready at Home to Receive Communion
