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!)

Does Your Parish Celebrate Bambinelli Sunday?

December 12, 2013 by Lisa Schmidt 8 Comments

Each year on the Third Sunday of Advent children gather with their families in St. Peter’s Square in Rome for “Bambinelli Sunday.” It’s an Italian Catholic family tradition in which handcrafted babies or “bambinelli” destined to represent the Christ child in the family’s Nativity scene are blessed by the pope.
