Use This Blessed Month with your children to help them learn and live the sacred traditions of our Catholic faith!
Your kids probably already know the popular "themes" of the months of the year: snow for January, hearts for February, rain and umbrellas for April, fall leaves for September, and so on. But did your kids know that the Church has its own themes for the months of the year? These themes typically take their cue from some important event or observance in the liturgical calendar for the month. You won't find these themes listed in any official Church document or the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Instead, the practice of certain devotions during a particular month emerged from among ordinary Catholics beginning in about the eleventh century.
This Blessed Month is a way for your family to begin practicing these special monthly devotions. It's designed to introduce the theme of each month in a kid-friendly way, with supporting prayers, activities, stories, and Scriptures for you to do together. Writing space is also included to help you keep track of your family's prayer intentions for the month.
"A long time ago, in the land of Canaan, there lived a giant known as Reprobus. Because he was so big and strong, Reprobus wished to serve the greatest and most powerful king in all the world. So he set off to find him..." For hundreds of years Catholics honored Christopher as the patron saint of travelers. But when he came to be seen as more mythical than historical, the Church discouraged devotion to him. Wanting to preserve the legend of the giant who carried the Christ Child, Tomie dePaola retold and illustrated the story in this captivating book.
Vividly and imaginatively illustrated in lavish color, a vintage classic that sold in the countless thousands for two generations is now back in print from Sophia Institute Press.
This publication is available at special discounted pricing for schools, co-ops, and parishes.

If you could ask Pope Francis one question, what would it be? Children have questions and struggles just like adults, but rarely are they given the chance to voice their concerns and ask the big questions resting deep in their hearts.

And some will quietly break your heart. But all of them are from children who deserve to know and feel God's unconditional love. Also available in Spanish as Querido Papa Francisco. "Feels akin to sitting in on a series of intimate conversations." -Publishers Weekly "The People's Pope shows that he is a down-to-earth man who understands both religion and children." -Kirkus Reviews
