Children’s author Claudia Cangilla McAdam has written a new picture book for the Ascension Kids series on the sacraments:“The Day God’s Helper Came.”
This engaging tale teaches children ages 4–8 about the story of what happened at Pentecost,the importance of surrendering to the Holy Spirit,and how that same Spirit can guide each believer.
In the days leading up to Pentecost, we join the Blessed Mother and the Apostles for the first novena. This is a special time to acknowledge that the Holy Spirit is alive within us.
