Product Description

Join Sister Aloysius, an energetic, joyful young sister, as she steps off the bus and begins her walk to Our Lady of Sorrows Parish in Mercyville on a hot July afternoon. In Sister Aloysius Comes to Mercyville, learn how Sister Aloysius happily makes use of her suffering in the heat of the summer day by uniting her discomfort to the agony of Christ on the cross. Along the way she meets a young boy Pio who will be in her second-grade class. Pio helps her with her bag and the two have a very interesting talk about St. Aloysius and patron saints as well as about St. Peter, the first pope. Sister Aloysius Comes to Mercyville is the first of the Sister Aloysius books. This series offers a large child-friendly 8.5 x 11 format and is illustrated in full color to capture the interest of young readers and pre-readers. The story is engaging for both children and adults, making it a great option for parents and children to read together. Included in the book is a parent page at the end which offers further discussion of items addressed in the story. This parent page provides some further information on offering one’s day to Jesus and on patron saints. Also included on the parent page are Bible and Catechism of the Catholic Church references which prove useful to parents and educators who want to use story time as an opportunity to talk and teach about the Catholic Faith.
