Pope John Paul II has repeatedly referred to the Catholic family as the "Domestic Church", for it is within the family that we form our first ideas about life and love, and about God and His Church.

Catechism of the Catholic Church:
1666 The Christian home is the place where children receive the first proclamation of the faith. For this reason the family home is rightly called "the domestic church," a community of grace and prayer, a school of human virtues and of Christian charity.

Women for Faith and Family has published two Family Sourcebooks in a planned series for the entire liturgical year. The books are spiral bound and illustrated (black and white line drawings). The books contain:

• a Church calendar of feasts and observances,
• descriptions of the meaning of liturgical seasons of the Church year,
• the meaning and history of Christian symbols associated with holidays,
• traditional prayers and devotions,
• "hands-on" activities especially for families with young children.
• Our Family Sourcebooks, compiled from many sources and written by mothers and teachers make excellent presents for any young Catholic familiy, and are good resources for homeschoolers.
• NOTE: Go to Seasons of the Liturgical Year, Advent - Christmas - Lent - Easter - Ordinary Time, for links to pages for feasts and holidays within each season.

Now in progress are books on Feasts and Holidays of the Blessed Virgin Mary, popular Saints days, and other celebrations in"Ordinary Time".
