Come Holy Spirit
“No Catholic Home should be without the book Come Holy Spirit. This book is an awesome resource tool to teach the Catholic faith. This is the book I have been searching for to educate my children about the Church. Organized beautifully to teach prayers, the commandments, and the Precepts, with biblical references printed throughout, and with the most important lessons printed in bold, this is the book your child needs before Confirmation. Come Holy Spirit will help your child to understand the enormous responsibility of a Confirmed Catholic, and will give them a deep understanding of the truth within our Church. An indispensable tool for any home, Church or school library. Ann O’Reilly, Home-School Instructor

The Cheated Generations
Several generations of Americans have been cheated out of the heritage and lifestyle that began with the founding of our Nation. The WW II generation came home believing that the American Dream could be realized and they worked hard to see that their children did not suffer as they had done. They were ignorant of the fact that their children were slowly and surely being indoctrinated through the school system, arts and media with a philosophy of relativism and a lifestyle they would never have wanted them to have. Their children are the recipients of the tragic results of this indoctrination and another generation is following them into a lascivious, satanic society that we would not wish on anyone, let alone our great-grandchildren.
