What Catholics Believe
by Mike Aquilina and Fr. Kris D. Stubna Catholics of a certain age fondly remember the Baltimore
Catechism, the gold standard question-and-answer catechism that provided an
entire generation of Catholics with easy-to-understand-and-memorize answers to
the basic truths of the Catholic Church. Now, noted authors Mike Aquilna and Fr.
Kris D. Stubna have taken this time-honored question-and-answer format and
written a new catechism rooted in the Catechism of the Catholic Church
and the documents of Vatican II. From the very first question: "Who are you?" to the
final "What prayers does the Church recommend?" this
sure-to-become-a-classic is filled with the richness of Catholic teaching. In
addition to the question-and-answer section, What Catholics Believe also
contains sections on traditional Catholic prayers, a guide to making a good
Confession, an explanation of the Mass, and much, much more. About the Authors: Mike Aquilina is the editor of New
Covenant magazine. His books for Our Sunday Visitor include: Weapons of
the Spirit: Selected Writings of Father John Hugo, The Way of the Fathers:
Praying with the Early Christians, The How-To Book of Catholic Devotions:
Everything You Need to Know But No One Ever Taught You (with Regis J.
Flaherty), The Fathers of the Church: An Introduction to the First Christian
Fathers, and Talking to Youth About Sexuality: A Parents' Guide
(general editor). Father Kris J. Stubna is the editor of The Catholic Vision
of Love, the most complete program of its kind based on authoritative
documents of the Church. He is also the Diocesan secretary for education for the
Diocese of Pittsburgh. Paper, 112 pages.

How to Make a Good Confession By Fr. Kris D. Stubna Many Catholics avoid the Sacrament of Reconciliation simply because they don't remember how to confess their sins. They simply don't know what to say and are too embarrassed to ask. How to Make a Good Confession, the newest pamphlet from Our Sunday Visitor, gives Catholics those words, describing the actions and responses for each step of the sacrament. It also serves as a practical guide to a thorough examination of conscience, asking a series of commandment-based real-world questions. Even those familiar with the steps of the sacrament will benefit from a more thoughtful confession. Equally as important, How to Make a Good Confession will inspire Catholics to seek reconciliation by reminding them of the great grace and peace they can receive when they ask for God's endless mercy. This pamphlet is perfect for display in the back of the church or near the reconciliation room - parishioners can read it as they prepare for confession, or take it with them for reference. Use this pamphlet as a bulletin insert or mail it with other parish materials - it's a wonderful way to remind parishioners to seek God's forgiveness through the sacrament.
