Last minute update (sorry!)

So there are just hours left, and this is the first you are hearing from me (on this channel, at any rate) about an amazing project that the sisters have been working on over a ten-year span. In Caelo et in Terra: a Year with the Saints will be every Catholic family's treasured volume, not only because it features a life of a saint for every day, with saints and blesseds from every part of the world, but because of the prayerfully done illustrations by our Sister Danielle Victoria Lussier who makes those saints so real.

Since the pandemic has profoundly affected the flexibility of our publishing house, we launched a Kickstarter project to help fund the printing costs. In just a day, we received enough pre-orders to cover the initial print run! 

You'll be able to place regular orders for the book in a couple of weeks, but today is the last day to get in on the offers associated with the Kickstarter program: entry-level support (a pre-order of one copy, basically) includes a set of limited-edition stickers and (a new addition for the final hours!) a print of Our Lady of the Rosary.

Even if you're not in the market for a new book about saints, no matter how well written or illustrated, do visit the Kickstarter page to watch the movie the sisters prepared; it's not the kind that I can import into the blog or I would have done that on day one. 


Needless to say, this would be a fabulous Christmas gift (in case you're thinking that far in advance, which...isn't that far in advance), and a sheer dose of inspiration for just about any occasion. (Personally, I think it would be lovely as part of a wedding gift for a Catholic couple.)
