Catechesis of the Good Shepherd

Getting a Piggyback Ride from the Good Shepherd

February 26, 2016 by Lisa Schmidt 19 Comments

So How is Catholic School Treating Your Family?

February 2, 2016 by Lisa Schmidt 5 Comments

So how is Catholic school treating your family? That’s the question Joel and I have received a lot since enrolling our oldest child in Catholic school and not homeschooling this year. Given it’s National Catholic Schools Week, the time seemed right to offer a response to that FAQ.

Two New Board Books for the Christmas Book Basket

December 4, 2015 by Lisa Schmidt 6 Comments

These two new children’s books published by Ignatius/Magnificat by well-known author/illustrator Maïte Roche make excellent Christmas gifts. (P.S., they’re good for Catechesis of the Good Shepherd atriums, too!)
