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.
Embark on a prayer journey to draw closer to the Lord and make room in your heart for Easter joy!
During the forty days of Lent, the Church helps us prepare our hearts for the great feast of Easter. MagnifiKid! Daily Lenten Journey invites you to follow a daily liturgical reading and offers ways for you to grow in holiness and faith through fasting, prayer, and almsgiving.
Designed to be used individually or as a support for family and community prayer, each day Magnifikid! Daily Lenten Journey features an opening reflection, a Scripture reading from daily Mass, intercessions, and small self-giving steps toward Easter.

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. In Dear Pope Francis, Pope Francis gives them that chance and celebrates their spiritual depth by directly answering questions from children around the world. Some are fun. Some are serious. 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

Are you looking for an easy way to teach your young children how to talk with Jesus throughout the day?
How Our Family Prays Each Day is a read-aloud book for children ages 4 to 8 that emphasizes the importance of praying and spending time with God each day.
This 32-page hardcover book includes charming, full-color illustrations that depict eight-year-old Marty and his family--parents Joseph and Maria, siblings Zelie and Baby Lou, and their pet pelican, Pascha--as they find reasons to pray throughout their day.
From their first "Good morning, God!" to their final bedtime cuddle, the family will help your children learn an important spiritual lesson: We can talk to God whenever we need him--like before a game or test, or when someone is hurt or struggling--not just during Mass or family prayer time. The book also includes a prayer for your family to say together when you're done reading.
How Our Family Prays Each Day was written by psychotherapist Gregory K. Popcak, illustrated by Jacob Flores-Popcak, and developed by the Catholic HŌM (Households of Mission) program at the Peyton Institute for Domestic Church Life at Holy Cross Family Ministries.
Who IS that angel that we see perched atop the Christmas tree?And how can angels fly so high, soaring through the snowy sky?
And why do angels dress in white? And do the angels ever fight?Who made the angels? Any clue? He who made them made YOU too!
With these charming rhyming verses, Anthony DeStefano begins this enchanting children's book on perhaps the most fascinating of all God's creatures — the angels.
How the Angels Got Their Wings is a winsome introduction to the story of the angels — pure spiritual beings of extraordinary power made by God to assist Him in carrying out His will. Beginning with the creation of the angels and the “war in Heaven” between the good angels and the bad, this book introduces children to the famous archangels Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael — as well as to Satan, the ringleader of the fallen angels, who chose to rebel against God.
This book also acquaints children with those special angels who are here with us rightnow, helping to protect and guide us — our guardian angels. It shows children how angels can assist them with all the problems they encounter in life, from communicating with others to choosing between right and wrong, and can protect them from physical harm.
How the Angels Got Their Wings is a beautifully illustrated, highly entertaining, biblically correct, and theologically orthodox introduction to angels. Once children read it, they will be forever comforted in knowing that God's love for them is so strong that He gave them not only His Son, but the angels above so they will never, ever be alone in life.

Joseph’s Donkeyis the heartwarming tale of a noble donkey purchased by St. Joseph shortly before his marriage to the Blessed Virgin Mary. The trusted creature helps Joseph in his carpentry business by hauling wood and stones, but he also plays a key role in all the major events recorded in the Infancy Narratives in the Gospels: he carries Mary to Bethlehem, where she gives birth to Jesus; he takes the Holy Family to Egypt to escape the evil king Herod; and he shuttles the family to Jerusalem, where the twelve-year-old Jesus gets “lost” in the Temple and is then found again.
This rich and beautifully illustrated book will be a source of stirring entertainment for children, who will fall in love with the strong, dignified, humble, hardworking donkey. But more importantly, Joseph’s Donkey will introduce children in a potent way to the mysterious and wonderful character of St. Joseph himself. For the donkey in this story is a mirror image of the honorable head of the Holy Family. Thus, in coming to know and cherish the donkey, children will come to appreciate and grow close to Jesus’ foster father — the person whom God the Father chose above all others to watch over, guide, and protect His only begotten Son.
In 18th-century Spain, daring stories of missionaries spreading the good news of the Gospel in the New World ignited the imagination of a devout young boy. Miguel Serra's dream soon became a reality. As Franciscan friar Junípero Serra, he traveled to the New World and tirelessly preached the love of Christ to the natives living in the uncharted wilderness of California. His motto was, Always forward, never back.
Pope Francis canonized Father Serra on September 23, 2015, during his historic visit to the USA. This book opens with a special message from Pope Francis, exhorting us to follow St. Junípero Serra's example. Pope Francis explains, Friar Junípero's witness calls upon us to get involved, personally, in the mission of the whole continent.
In the beautifully illustrated book for young people ages 9 and up, join the founding father of California on his amazing journey and experience the saintly missionary zeal that led to the establishment of the 21 Catholic missions in California. His presence and work are still very much alive through these beautiful missions that are visited by millions of people every year.
