Catechumenate Sessions for Children and Families Blessie La Scola This second volume of the Children of the Light resource builds on the child’s evolving faith formation first explored in the precatechumenate period and addressed by the first volume.

These 28 sessions offer ways to explore each topic as part of a continuous and ongoing process, including gathering prayers, scripture readings, games or icebreakers, hands-on activities, reflective responses by the participants, and closing prayer rituals. Each session begins with a summary of its purpose, a brief section of catechist formation, and ideas for setting the environment. A template for a letter home is also provided for each session. An optional “Remembering Back” section is included for some of the sessions to provide an introduction to the experience of mystagogy. The enclosed CD-ROM contains all of the handouts, worksheets, and letters to parents found on the printed pages of the book, making this a convenient, easy-to-use resource for RCIA ministers, directors of faith formation, and catechists alike.

UPDATED!

Misa Luna Peter Kolar

Recenty revised per the Misal Romano WLP’s premier bilingual Mass setting Misa Luna by composer Peter Kolar has undergone substantial revisions based on the new Misal Romano. The composer has worked diligently to adapt and prepare Misa Luna so that it conforms to the official texts in English and Spanish.

The revision has received approval for publication from the U.S. Bishops Committee on Divine Worship. The 2011 version of Misa Luna is now replaced by the 2018 revision, complete with new product numbers for its various editions (see list below).

Misa Luna Additional Improvements In addition to the required updates to the music and its texts, you’ll find enhancements to Misa Luna; in particular, a new bilingual Gloria. The existing monolingual Gloria settings in English and Spanish—each with their unique melodies and structure—remains intact, but a third, bilingual option is included, enabling it to be sung readily in both languages.

You’ll also find a new chanted setting for the third form of the Penitential Act, new presider’s invitations to the Memorial Acclamations, and updated acclamations for the Eucharistic Prayer for Masses with Children II.
