New book by Sarah Hlavacek, uses detailed illustrations to convey the deep mysteries taking place in every Catholic Mass.
Author, 31 year old Mother of 7, Sarah Hlavacek has released a Catholic picture book for 3-6 year old children. Using beautiful illustrations and easy to understand language, When I go to Mass instructs children in the practice of their Catholic faith and invites them to contemplate the profound mystery of the Eucharist.
“It creates the opportunity to go deeper into the mass with your child. It’s a book you can use to prepare your children for mass, and bring along to be used as a picture missal. It is instructional, informative and contemplative. With the level of detail that won’t overwhelm a 3 year old!” says Sarah.
