Children meet the gentle Jesus while they prepare for their first Holy Communion. Written in the engaging pastoral style of the Redemptorists, Meet the Gentle Jesus: First Eucharist sacrament preparation introduces the Mass and the sacrament of the Eucharist in ways that inspire youngsters to take a lifelong journey of knowing and loving Jesus, and to become missionary disciples.

Meet the Gentle Jesus: First Eucharist is a complete curriculum and it is in conformity with the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The components are:

  • First Eucharist for Children (this book)
  • Catechist Guide, a comprehensive, wraparound leader guide that enables you to plan and teach your program
