I started this series years ago, and now I am finishing it! It is a series for Catholic moms all about what the liturgical year is, how and why to live the liturgical year at home, how to build your own domestic church, and how to prioritize and choose what your family will be celebrating.
This series also covers topics such as why religious education is the responsibility of the parent, and gives you the tools you need to follow through with that privilege.
Check out my new printable liturgical ebook, Weaving The Faith! This is the perfect resource for families that are living the liturgical year at home. You can use this book year after year to organize your liturgical resources, building your library as you go! Read more about my Weaving The Faith ebook here.
