A delightful story about the "Mystery" of the Eucharist, catechetical pages, and a memory record in which the family can write memories of the child's first communion; In their first communion class, Maria and Riley decide to try to solve the "Mystery of the Eucharist" by exploring clues in the church. Encouraged to "solve" the Mystery by Father Hugo, the children ask questions about the church and the Mass, which Father answers. The class also learns about prayer from Deacon Paul, music from Sister Mary Rose, parts of the Mass from Ms. Kelly, and the Last Supper from Fr. Hugo. At each step, the kids feel they are getting closer to solving the Mystery of the Eucharist, but they can't quite put it all together. Finally, the Mystery is "solved" the only way Mysteries of the Faith can be "solved," through faith and a personal encounter with Jesus. This delightful book includes this story, catechetical pages, and a memory record in which the family can write memories of the child's first communion. This book would make a wonderful first communion gift, or better yet a gift in aniticpation of first communion to help a child more clearly understand the Mystery of the Blessed Sacrament.
