The King of the Golden City: An Allegory for Children

Mother Mary Loyola

The King of the Golden City is a fascinating tale which breathes into the heart of the child a deep understanding of Holy Communion while fostering a profound love for Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament.

Originally published in 1921, this classic tale has long been a favorite of young and old. This quality gift edition features 8 full-color paintings which bring the story to life for young readers. A perfect book for preparing and celebrating a child's First Holy Communion!

This book was originally written for a young child who asked Mother Loyola what she must do to prepare for her First Holy Communion. The child asked for a story with hidden messages. Guide your child in discovering the full meaning of this allegory with The King of the Golden City Study Guide which may be downloaded from Free Catholic Curricula.

While this book is a beautiful preparation for First Holy Communion, it is so powerful that it is recommended again in 5th or 6th grade, this time to be studied using the comprehension questions.

120 pages. 6"x9" Softcover. 8 full color paintings. Shrink-wrapped. ISBN 0-9764691-0-3

“Our family has been blessed with the gift of the book, King of the Golden City! This book is a true gem! It has sparked a deeper love and appreciation for the sacraments of penance and holy communion. The story is written so beautifully and has become, by far, one of my most favorite books! We read two chapters a day and used the study guide for discussion afterwards. The wording was so vivid and the events were relational to our personal lives. It was a lovely and heart-warming experience. ”

“King of The Golden City is possibly your best kept secret! While reading it in preparation for our children's First Communion, the whole family gained something from it! We grew in Faith together, making the sacrament so very special for all of us! I've convinced five friends to order one, too! Thank you! Please don't ever take this out of your catalog - it a a true Catholic jewel!!!!!”
