What the Catalog Does Not Confirm

The supplied information does not specify the exact examination of conscience included, the language of the text (though the title is Spanish), or whether the booklet includes prayers in other languages. It also does not confirm if the illustrations are suitable for very young children. If these details matter to you, consider contacting the store for more information before purchasing.
