  • To The Holy Family Model for Catholic Parents and Children this books is respectfully dedicated “What greater task is there than training the mind and forming habits of the youth?” - St. John Chrysostom This book has been written to help you in that task; but you must remember that no book can succeed unless it has behind it your effort and your whole-hearted cooperation, together with prayer and good example. No matter how good the education in any particular Catholic school may be, it can never take the place of the training which the children receive in their homes.

  • by Rev. J. Roger Lyons, S.J.

    From the Introduction: “The home, because it is a “world within a world,” cannot be relegated to a secondary place in the  planning of the world of tomorrow. World problems affect the home; the home cannot escape them. Home and family hold a  unique place in the many complicated problems confronting America today. The home has much to offer to youth, who must  meet these problems. Youth in turn has much to contribute to the home.”

  • Lectures for Boys 3 Volume Set
    • 7% less

    By the Very Rev. Francis Cuthbert Doyle, O.S.B.

    3 volumes.

    Anyone who has had to deal with boys will know how little hold on their attention the spiritual works seem to have on them. Father Doyle worked with boys his entire life to overcome this problem. He was convinced that "my labor would be thrown away, unless the grand principles of the Moral Law were brought straight home to their hearts." He did this effectively by "making the abstract - concrete, the theoretical - practical." The method he uses was to address to the boys every morning a short, homely exhortation or lecture proportioned to their intelligence, and adapted to the circumstances of their lives. "Their attention was arrested; their curiosity was aroused; and it was gratifying to observe the earnestness with which they strove during the day to practice the lesson which they had been taught in the morning... If they serve to direct heavenwards the thoughts and the aims of the young - if they encourage them to walk in the narrow way and help them, be it ever so little, to make their hearts the temple of the living God - I shall consider any labor that I may have expended upon their composition most amply repaid."

  • A manual of instructions and prayers adapted to preserve the fruits of the mission.

    By the Very Rev. Ferreol Girardey, C.Ss.R.

    This book ought not to be used as a mere prayer-book, but it should also be used frequently as a book of consideration, of serious reflection. It would be well if a chapter of it were read every evening or, at the very least, on Sundays and holydays. This book contains many necessary prayers as well as many unique prayers. Part I deals with special instructions for the married, then for all Christians.

  • Imprimatur, 1938

        These notes are an amplification of a course given during the summer of 1937 at the Sodality’s Summer School of Catholic Action.
        We make no claim that these notes cover the field of youth guidance. We do not pretend that they are even mildly technical. They are simply observations and experiences of a priest who, by a series of happy providential circumstances, has spent most of his active life working with young people. Those notes are presented as some slight aid to those whose equally happy lot it is to work among the young Catholics in the present generation who are growing to manhood and to womanhood.
        Young people - men and women, boys and girls - are far more anxious to be guided and counseled than is the most zealous priest or religious to guide and counsel them. They wait. They look up hopefully. Will they be answered?

  • An Exhaustive Exposition of the Christian Religion with Special Reference to the Present State of Society and the Spirit of the Age. A Practical Manual for the Use of the Preacher, the Catechist, the Teacher, and the Family.

    This large Catechism is divided into three parts: The first part treats of faith, the second of morals, the third of the means of grace. In the first part Our Lord appears in His character of Teacher; in the second in His character of King; and in the third in His character of High Priest. This Catechism is in fact nothing more nor less than an abstract of Our Lord’s teaching, and may be called a guide book for the Christian on the road to heaven. This Catechism aims at cultivating, to an equal extent, all the three powers of the soul: the understanding, the affections and the will. It is an amazing book and should be in every home.

    Original of Rev. Francis Spirago, Edited by Rev. Richard F. Clarke, S.J

  • What he should be, and what he should do.
    Together with a collection of Prayer Suitable to his Collection.

    Translated from the German of Right Rev. W. Cramer, D.D. by Rev. L.A. Lambert.
    This book will naturally instil Christian habits, impart a moral tone, and infuse a religious spirit into his family; and as the family is the foundation of society, we must make the father truly Christian would we reform society. It is no mere ideal father we have here, aspiring after unattainable or fanciful saintliness. It is a father such as God intended all fathers to be, such a should and might be found at the head of every Christian family.

  • By Right Rev. W. Cramer, D.D.

    Translated by Rev. J.P.M. Schleuter, S.J.

    with an Introduction by
    His Eminence Caridnal Gibbons
    Archbishop of Baltimore.

    The Christian Mother has been charged with a two-fold mission with respect to her children; namely, the securing to the nourishment of both soul and body. For if she has been fitted by Nature to give to her children the milk which sustains the life of their bodies, so likewise has she been peculiarly designed by the God of Nature to dispense to them for the nourishment of their souls the rational milk of which the apostle speaks, and which will make them grow unto salvation.
