The Catholic Homeschool Podcast

Two Truths in 25 Years of homeschooling

Tips on changing behaviors with Paola Ciskanik, host of the Catholic Homeschool Community.

It is a hard and busy time of year. Listen to a few quick tips that are helping her family and hopefully be a help to you right now!

Is it possible to teach virtue and faith formation using Lego© Bricks?

And where is it BEST to pass on the TRUTHS of the Faith?

Join Paola and meet Kevin O'Neill as he tells us all about how his family wrote a book, built the sets and photographed them so your children can learn the Sacraments and Holy Mass through the use of play, fun, and even Lego© Bricks.

Kevin and Mary O'Neill, parents of nine, fellow homeschoolers with a mission to help families become the Domestic Church we are called to be.

Adding Beauty into the daily lives of our family, helps us to transcend and fix our gaze on serving God each day. By introducing your children to beauty by way of Sacred Art in picture books you also teach the faith in one of the most natural ways!

Join Paola Ciskanik as she chats with Kerri Davidson, veteran homeschool mom of eight, author and co-founder of Holy Heroes, how Sacred Art can easily be part of your everyday homeschooling.

Along the way they talked about their many years homeschooling, sharing insights, encouragement and advice.

Join Paola as she has a cozy chat with Mother Clare Matthiass, CFR who is the author of the popular book Discerning Religious Life as well as the Avow small discussion group discernment program.

Mother Clare was born in Germany and spent her childhood moving from base to base with her family, as her father was serving in the U.S. Military. She attended Franciscan University in Steubenville, Ohio where she studied theology and history.

Mother Clare has been a member of the Franciscan Sisters of the Renewal since 1998. The two-fold apostolic mission of the community is hands-on work with the poor and evangelization.

Meet my guest this week, Samantha Kelley, who is the Founder and current President of FIERCE Athlete Inc. She played Division I Soccer at UConn, and has spent the last 12 years working for Catholic nonprofits and outreaching to female athletes.

It was through the teachings of Theology of the Body and the Catholic Church that she discovered what it means to be both feminine and athletic.
