    About this ebook

    A colorful, fun-to-read introduction that explains the ways and
    whys of Catholic worship.

    Visual and informative, What You Will See Inside a Catholic Church features full-page pictures and concise descriptions of what is happening, the objects used, the clergy and laypeople who have specific roles, and the spiritual intent of the believers.

    Ideal for children as well as teachers, parents, librarians, clergy, and lay leaders who want to demystify the celebrations and ceremonies of the Church throughout the year, as well as encourage understanding and tolerance among different faith traditions.

    What You Will See Inside a Catholic Church will:

    • Give children the opportunity to ask questions, making them more active participants
      • Satisfy kids’ curiosity about what goes on in churches attended by their friends, broadening awareness of other faiths at an important age when opinions and prejudices can first form
      • Provide Catholic children with a deeper understanding of the practices of their own religious tradition.

      This book is dedicated to my mom and dad, who were the first to bring me inside a Catholic church on the day of my baptism. I thank them for the gift of faith, which they shared with me as a child. It was planted by their love and watered by their example. I also dedicate this work to my nieces, nephew, and godchildren. I pray that Sarah, Melissa, Lauren, Anna, Anthony, Grace, Erin, Zachary, and Jade will visit God’s house often and find within it a sense of welcome, warmth, and wonder. —Reverend Michael Keane
