Need a unique, high quality, and orthodox First Holy Communion gift? Look no further.
Choosing the right First Communion gift can be stressful – you’ve got to choose something that’s age-appropriate, preferably Catholic, and so special that no one else will give it! It’s a tall order, but the My Catholic Library Children’s Missal is here to help you. Unlike the typical print-on-demand copies of “Know Your Mass” by Fr. Demetrious Manousos, this edition is the highest quality (and the ONLY hardback) version available because it is hand-crafted from beginning-to-end. That means you can choose from a number of design options to create a truly unique present that will last, and be cherished, for a lifetime by kids and parents alike (more on why below).
Due to the fact that each book is hand-bound (and each slipcase handmade) using traditional English bookbinding techniques, I can only make a small number at any one time – stock is limited, so don’t miss out!
Why Children Love It - the perfect Catholic Mass book
- Child-friendly Comic On The Inside: With 96 pages of full-colour illustrations printed on glossy heavyweight paper, this vibrant Latin Mass children’s Missal brings the richness of the prayers, actions, and elements of the liturgy to life in a style which both boys and girls love.
- A ‘Grown Up’ Missal On The Outside: Every parent tells me the same thing: their child feels really grown up taking a ‘proper book’ to Mass. They know instinctively that it’s special.
- Their Name In GOLD: Kids love having something that’s ‘just for them’, and having their name in gold foil on the spine makes this extra special.
Why Parents Love It - help them teach the Faith
- Detailed, Understandable, Orthodox: the content of this Children’s Missal is “Know Your Mass” published in 1954. It’s a tried-and-tested way to help them in passing on the Faith to younger generations.
- Encourages Quiet Focus in Church: with the eye-catching comic book panels and information-rich text, kids get absorbed in the book, meaning parents can have some quiet prayer time of their own for a change!
- Made To Last: especially with the addition of the matching slipcase, this hardback book is built to withstand a whole childhood’s worth of use.
Why It Makes A Great Godparent Gift
- Treasure, Not Clutter: this Children’s Missal won’t be “another forgotten thing in a drawer”. It’ll be treasured, and more importantly, used for years to come.
- Specifically Catholic: unlike most ‘Catholic gifts’ for Baptism, First Holy Communion, and Confirmation on places like Etsy, which are mass-produced generic items you can engrave a name on, this book is a great way to fulfill your role as godparent in helping bring up your godchild in the Faith.
- Shows How Much You Care: While it is especially suited as godchild’s First Communion present, it would also make a terrific Christmas present for godchildren.
Originally written when the Latin Mass (Extraordinary Form) was the norm, this Missal remains timeless. Even families who attend the Ordinary Form in English find it perfectly suited for their children.
This book means a lot to me personally, as it played a key role in the journey of founding My Catholic Library, which you can read about on the About page. Remember, stock is limited—order now to give the child in your life a faith-filled treasure that will last a lifetime!

Paul Hammond –
My son, John, was delighted with his missal. It is beautifully made, and is a handy size. It should last a lifetime, unlike the cheap one he previously had, which lasted just a few months
Mark (store manager) –
I’m so glad he’s happy with it!
Naomi Dunne –
I had these made for both of my sons for their First Holy Communion and they were the perfect gift. We went with the red M design and it is just beautiful. So wonderfully crafted, but also excellent quality so they have been able to use through Mass. Definitely one to be treasured by each of them.
Mark (store manager) –
Thanks for the review! It was a pleasure to make these Children’s Missals for you.
Dan H –
A really beautiful gift for our daughter’s Baptism. The binding is of superb quality, looks great, and makes it feel like a “real” Missal for her to use during Mass.
Mark (store manager) –
I’m sure she’ll get years of use out of it! Thanks for the feedback.
