New American First Communion Catechism

The New American Catechism (No. 0) uses the question-and-answer method to emphasize the essential elements of Catholic doctrine in an orderly way and thus help young children better to retain and understand them. Written for Grades 1 and 2 (First Communion preparation), this New American Catechism relies upon the official U.S. Bishops' document Basic Teachings for Catholic Education, the teachings of Vatican II, and Scripture to provide an explanation of the Catholic Faith. The economical New American Catechism (No. 0) is printed in large type to be user-friendly to young children and is profusely illustrated.
