Of course, I'd say the most famous reference to the Trinity is St. Patrick with his shamrock, but I just can't seem to get in the shamrock mood in the Summer time.

In continuing with our series Passing on the Catholic Faith to Your Kids, I wanted to touch on setting up a home altar. When I first heard the term home altar, I felt a little scared.
