A visual, informative introduction to the traditions of Catholic worship and faith.


What’s an altar? Why do people light candles in a church? Who is the "Lamb of God"? What is a cruet, a kneeler, a baptismal font?


Through concise but enlightening descriptions and photos from a wide variety of Catholic churches, Reverend Michael Keane answers all these questions and more.


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.


What You Will See Inside--A new series of illustrated books designed to show children ages 6–10 the Who, What, When, Where, Why and How of traditional houses of worship, liturgical celebrations, and rituals of different world faiths, empowering them to respect and understand their own religious traditions--and those of their friends and neighbors.
