Gertrud Von Le Fort wrote The Song at the Scaffold in 1931, five years after converting to the Catholic Faith. At that time she was considered Germany's most influential Catholic poet and novelist. The Song at the Scaffold is a novelette set in the time of the French Revolution, an epoch that vividly demonstrated man's capacity for both heroism and brutality. It is a very intense story dealing primarily with the Carmelite Convent at Compiegne but also encompassing the Paris mob, the Reign of Terror, Women Revolutionists, etc., climaxing in the martyrdom of sixteen Carmelite nuns. Excellent reading for both students and adults!

This book has the modest aim of explaining why Modernism is the most dangerous of all heresies, and the steps taken by St. Pius X to suppress it. The author rarely refers to the contemporary Church, and yet on page after page the reader will cry out: But this is just what is happening today! Those who read this book will know all they need to know about Modernism, and will certainly understand why they have a duty to help defend the Faith against it.

A Story of St. Catherine of Alexandria is a magnificent story of another of God's great saints - an example to young girls and Catholics of all ages and time. Catherine was born a pagan princess of Egypt, the land of the Sphinx and Pyramids. In her thirst for knowledge and wisdom she grew into a wise and very lovely young woman. This is an account of Catherine's conversion to Christianity, her ascension to the throne as Queen of Alexandria, the persecution of her Christian subjects by the Romans, and her own suffering at the hands of the Emperor for her love of Christ. Beautiful illustrations help tell her amazing story!

John Bosco is a favorite saint of all Catholic youth but especially of boys. A Story of St. John Bosco details the life of this great saint. He was born in 1815 in Italy and while growing up, he loved to do various tricks, juggling and accomplishing special athletic feats. He unofficially became the village “entertainer." John took a special interest in organizing the “rough” young boys of the town. He showed them tricks and played sports games with them, but he would always take a little time to teach them some catechism lessons and lead them in prayer. He became their hero. While working his way through school, he also learned to be a baker, a tailor, a carpenter, and an iron-worker. He used these skills after he joined the seminary by starting a very successful school for boys. Finally, after meeting with the Pope Pius IX he received permission to start a new community and seminary known as the Salesian Society. He also started a community of Sisters. This is a very interesting story about the life of John Bosco, a story that has had a great influence on Catholic youth the past 100 years. He was declared a saint in 1934. Fully illustrated.

I Am With You Always: The Divine Constitution and Indefectibility of the Catholic Church

Common-sense rules for Catholic mothers and fathers. Father Wickens teaches how to raise good Catholic youths from infant through the teenager. He explains the traditional Catholic view on such things as discipline, rules, commands, obedience, punishment, etc. . . . In the Preface, Fr. Wickens says 'the parental heart feeds, heals, prays, worries, directs, corrects and protects. In a word, it is engaged in the consistent generous act of giving.' A tremendous help and an excellent guide for all Catholic parents.

Subtitled 'The Liturgy Since Vatican II' is a summation of what the Mass is, what it is not, and of the changes that have come about in the past generation. In this booklet, Michael Davies has done a superb job in clarifying these questions for the layman and has even provided a very helpful analytical index. Mr. Davies initiated this essay with 'Liturgy has meaning only in so far as it is directed to God.'
