An excerpt from "Loyola Kids Book of Saints" about St. Ignatius of Loyola.  The book of saints for children tells how saints become saints and help us even today. Includes more than sixty saint stories for children.

The lives of saints for children . . .

Who are the saints, why are they important, and what can children learn from the saints? In Loyola Kids Book of Saints,
the first in the Loyola Kids series, author Amy Welborn answers these questions with exciting and inspiring stories, real-life applications,and important information about these heroes of the church. This delightful collection of saints for children, written in a storybook style for ages eight to twelve, explains how saints become saints, why we honor them, and how they help us even today.

Divided thematically, the book features more than sixty saints for children from all over the world and from all across time, including our newest saints, such as Katharine Drexel; popular saints, such as St. Anthony of Padua; and Blesseds, such as Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha. Each story tells about a saint and encourages children to think about how they might use what they learn from the story in their everyday lives.

A collection of music, liturgies, and prayer services designed for catechists and liturgists looking for something sound! GIA continues its commitment to children by providing music and rituals that celebrate the child.
The double CD or cassette set contains music an assembly can sing-even an assembly with children. Robert Piercy and Vivian Williams, national leaders in the field of liturgy and catechetics, have compiled a collection that works in conjunction with the liturgical year.
When Children Gather: 20 Eucharistic Liturgies for the School Year contains everything you need: Suggestions for music, citations from the sacramentary and lectionary, and alternative prayers appropriate for different ages. Special features include homily suggestions and mystagogy (time spent after liturgy) suggestions. Liturgies focus on such relevant topics as back to school, Advent, Holy Cross, Thanksgiving, Saints and Souls, and Missions.
The second book, When Children Gather: 20 Prayer Services for the School Year contains shorter prayer services tied to the liturgical year.
The double compact disc or cassette features music of David Haas, Marty Haugen, Rob Glover, Jeanne Cotter, John Bell, Donna Pe�a, and many others. All the music for the above 40 services can be found on this recording.
The Full Score contains lyrics, guitar chords and accompaniments for all the music on the recording. Many times the accompaniment is simplified so that students may play the music.
There is also a Student Melody Book available at an affordable price. You've been asking for it and GIA is happy to provide this resource-the first of many.
