The New American Catechism (No. 0) is designed for children in Grades 1 and 2 who are preparing for their First Reconciliation and Holy Communion. Eleven lessons use a question-answer format to teach about basic tenets of the Catholic Church, such as God, the Holy Trinity, the sacraments, living a holy life and eternal life. Appendices include the Ten Commandments, The Beatitudes, and Duties of Catholics. Answers to the lesson questions are provided as well as sample notes to parents. Scripture and the teachings of Vatican II, as well as the official U.S. Bishop's document, "Basic Teachings for Catholic Education", served as the resources for this book, which is printed in easy-read large type and filled with illustrations.
