Fourth children


The Saint James Vicariate for Hebrew Speaking Catholics has published the fourth volume of the children's catechism. This volume is entitled "Getting to Know the Mass".

We are delighted to announce that the fourth volume of our catechism for children has been published. This is the fourth volume, entitled "Getting to Know the Mass", and it joins the other three volumes already in print: "Getting to Know the Messiah" (2009), "Getting to Know the Church" (2010) and "Getting to Know the Feasts" (2011). This volume is dedicated to the memory of Sister Miriam Nothmann SJA, a tireless catechist and beloved member of the Jaffa kehilla who was tragically killed in a car accident at the beginning of 2012.

The book consists of 64 pages and is divided into three parts:

- an introduction to the Mass which explores the Jewish roots of the Eucharist, the role of God the Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit and the mass in the life of the Church;

- a detailed description of each of the steps in the Mass, explaining the words and the acts as well the symbols that are used;

- the text of the Mass.

Each page is magnificently illustrated by Gianpaolo Derossi in order to assist in the understanding of the text.

Special thanks are due to the staff of the Latin Patriarchate Printing Press and especially to its managing director, Mr. Mounir Hodaly, for their tireless and professional work which has produced this beautiful volume. In addition, we wish to heartily thank the Italian organization that works so hard to support the Church in the Holy Land, "Fondazione Giovanni Paolo II", which contributed generously towards the publication of the book allowing us to distribute the book to our children.

We hope to produce a fifth volume next year; “Getting to Know the History of Salvation”.
