Introduce your children and your whole family to the rich traditions of the Holy Roman Catholic Church through:

Science [ sample article ]
What is the relationship between the Catholic faith and science? We'll explore, among other things, the ways in which modern science is converting scientists to believers in God. How does science explain the Holy Shroud of Turin or the miraculous image of Our Lady of Guadalupe?

The Arts [ sample article ]
Learn the art of Catholic iconography; draw paint and gild an icon for your home. Collect your favorite prayers and bind them into your very own hand-made prayer book. Learn the art of calligraphy, Christian sculpture and printing. Find out what an illuminated manuscript is...

Architecture [ sample article ]
Discover the beauty of Catholic Church architecture--is it Gothic, Romanesque or Baroque? What is a flying buttress? a narthex? Why does the leaning tower of Pisa lean?

Music [ sample article ]
Discover the beauty of music which, throughout the Christian ages, has glorified God and honored the Blessed Virgin and the saints: Gregorian chant, polyphony, orchestral, opera and more.

History [ sample article ]
Find out the answer to these questions: what happened in the Christian catacombs of Rome; who were the "Know Nothings" and what did they not know; what were the results of the French Revolution; who were the Hungarian Freedom Fighters; how did seven Jesuits survive the Bombing of Hiroshima; how did Jesus Christ change the course of human history?

Biography [ sample article ]
Learn about the great contributions of Charlemagne, Queen Isabella and Mary Tudor; Mother Rose Duchesne, Cardinal Mindszenty and Pope Leo XIII; Coulumbus, Cortes and Magellan; the Russian Romanovs and the Austro-Hungarian Hapsburgs.

Geography [ sample article ]
The splendors of Christendom can be found the world over. Each issue we take a look at a different part of the world. Why was Moscow called the Third Rome? Why were 374 monasteries confiscated by the English government in the 16th century?

Church Tradition [ sample article ]
Have you ever wondered how a Pope is elected, or what the College of Cardinals is and how it functions? We explore Church hierarchy (e.g. what is a titular bishop?), vestments (who wears a pallium and why?), liturgy (what is the Agnus Dei?), and church prayers (what is the Angelus?) etc.
