Produced by the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate, a congregation of Catholic priests and brothers, this three-volume series introduces the sacraments of the Catholic Church to teens. Volume one discusses the sacraments of initiation: baptism, confirmation and the Holy Eucharist. Volume two covers the sacraments of healing: penance and anointing the sick (formerly extreme unction). Volume three concludes with the sacraments of service: holy orders and matrimony. Divided into segments, with individual sacraments introduced by religious instructors, each section is followed by an activity to help teens understand the meaning of the sacrament in their lives, concluding with a discussion in which young adults share what the sacraments mean to them. A well done series that would make a good addition to collections supporting religious education of various denominations, in addition to the natural audience of Catholic schools serving junior high and high school age groups, this is recommended.
