“When writing about what she shares with Jesus, my daughter said homeschooling! Right on baby girl!!” —Marcy, WI

Our six-year-old is developing a real love of Jesus, thanks in part, I believe to the Faith and Life series. After our most recent lesson, he ran out of the room unexpectedly and returned with a small statue of Jesus that he offered to each of us to kiss. I love that your products help to encourage this love of Jesus and His mother in our children.

Here is a picture of my first grader working on his religion. It's funny because both my children attend Catechism and their teachers are always telling me how much they know. I know a lot of it has to do with the faith-base of your curriculum!

The Faith and Life series holds to our Catholic traditions and doesn't try to spin our current culture into it somehow.

“Our son enjoying his first grade Faith & Life activity workbook.” —Juli, IL

Thanks to your beautiful and faith-filled curriculum, my children have thrived not only academically, but most importantly in their Catholic Faith. You have helped make our family whole by filling that space or void between just saying we are Catholic, and actually living and working toward being a Catholic Family.
