First published in 1923, this classic story of the persecution of Scottish Catholics was revised and reprinted in 1950. This 2009 edition of Sr. Mary Imelda Wallace's Outlaws of Ravenhurst contains the revised story of 1950 plus chapter-by-chapter aids to assist readers in assimilating the book's strong Catholic elements into their own lives. The study section focuses on critical thinking, integration of Biblical teachings, and the study of the virtuous life to which Christ calls us as mature Catholics. With its emphasis on virtues (theological and moral plus the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit), the spiritual and corporal works of mercy, and the Beatitudes, Outlaws of Ravenhurst Study Edition is a fun and effective catechetical tool for Catholics preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation.

Outlaws of Ravenhurst

Wallace, M.

Catholic Authors Pr

A personal side to the great 20th century theologian, distributist and Dominican Friar. A moving autobiographical study of Fr. Vincent's early years gives us a candid look into the life of a traditional Catholic family in the late 1800's. From the two children born at sea, to the McNabb boys rolling each other down the stairs in a laundry basket, hanging from the gutters, or drifting out to sea in a row-boat with no oars; we see how Fr. Vincent's mother and father handled it all and how their Catholic faith guided them. "Stands as a great apologia pro familia magna. A defense of the family that could thaw the most rigorous heart of our childless Age." - DR. WILLIAM EDMUND FAHEY

The Secret Warfare of Freemasonry Against Church and State

ANONYMOUS

There are many good and popular English books on the Mass. Some of them treat the subject after the manner of a Rationale, explaining the significance of the prayers and ceremonies of the Eucharistic rite; others are historical and antiquarian, and elucidate the origin and evolution of the ceremonial - while of devotional books there is no end. This book, however, is a treatise on the folklore and minor antiquities of the Mass; by which are meant the various aspects and the numerous details of the Holy Sacrifice which have so impressed the minds of Catholics in the past as to leave permanent traces in the popular traditions and speech. The aim of this book is to stimulate love for the ancient Mass by showing how it was valued by our ancestors in ages of faith, and what our predecessors in the penal times willingly suffered for its sake.

With his facile pen and from the wealth of his nation-wide experience, the well-known author treats anything and everything that might be included under the heading of home education: the pre-marriage training of prospective parents, the problems of the pre-school days down through the years of adolescence. No topic is neglected. "What is most praiseworthy is Fr. Lord's insistence throughout that no educational agency can supplant the work that must be done by parents." - Felix M. Kirsch, O.F.M.
