With 2000 years under its belt, the Catholic faith has a depth and richness that is truly inexhaustible. From saints to sacraments, prayers to prophets, we can spend a lifetime and feel like we’ve only skimmed the surface. So how can we introduce our children to this treasury? Where do we start?
Catholic Kid 365 introduces a different aspect of the faith to children ages 8-12 every day. Using the liturgical year as its foundation, this book enables kids to encounter virtues, feast days, liturgical seasons, commandments, the mysteries of the rosary, Bible stories, even the seven deadly sins.
A scripture passage introduces the topic, then a brief entry unpacks its key elements. Children are then exhorted to act through the “Ora et Labora” section, in which an aspect of prayer is proposed as well as a concrete work to apply what has just been learned. A “Deep Dive” section provides one more angle on the topic such as a saintly quote, an interesting bit of etymology, or a slice of tradition.
At the heart of the book is the one who shines his light over all of Jesus the Lord. Catholic Kid 365 is a great way to tap into the treasures of the faith!
