Source: Project Gutenberg #14551, 'A Catechism of Christian Doctrine, No. 1: for First Communion Classes' (transcription by Dennis McCarthy from catholic.net files). Text of 1885, from a 1920s Benziger printing; the Mass, confession and communion prayers are from Fr Finn's Prayer Book for Catholic Youth. Tier A: public domain in the United States. Transcriber's notes and the Gutenberg licence removed. Question numbers follow No. 2, so there are gaps by design.
