A Little Child's First Communion & Foundational Material for Doctrinal Catholic Action

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 all published in this present volume, called "A Little Child's First Communion."

Mother Bolton also composed Foundational Material for Doctrinal Catholic Action. This teacher's manual, written to accompany A Little Child's First Communion, seeks to provide a broad spectrum of material on which the teacher may rely to enrich his or her own knowledge and understanding of the subject. Drawing from the Catechism, Scripture and the Church Fathers, this book provides an ample basis for the catechist in this crucial task.
