This handy little booklet answers those questions every Catholic parent is bound to hear sooner or later on Sunday mornings when the kids (or maybe even the adults) really don't feel like going to church.
Did you know that the Emperor Constantine declared that Christians were required to attend Mass on Sundays way back in A.D. 321? I didn't! Little-known facts like that make this booklet an interesting read for both parents and children.
I especially liked the "Can't we just pray at home?" section. It gives a clear explanation of why we, as Catholics, feel it's important to go to Mass and pray with our whole beings. Going to Mass involves all five senses, and it makes us a part of a community of believers.
The Catholic Company sent me this book in exchange for my honest review. Visit The Catholic Company to pick up your own copy of Catholic Parent Know-How: Why Do We Have to Go to Mass.
