Welcome! 4Real is a volunteer ministry providing family-to-family support for Catholic parent educators and friends who emphasize Living Books as they design or adapt curriculum to meet their family needs. This message board is moderated by Catholic home educating mothers who value a respectful and courteous online haven and respect prudential decisions made between spouses. We strive to choose the choicest part of educational opportunities, hold fast to what is good, share a loosely defined educational philosophy, and enjoy its related methods. Many members identify with a similar philosophy and use similar methods while all members have ideas, methods, materials, and experiences to share. If you identify with and enjoy a similar approach to home education, may this board be only an encouragement as you fulfill your vocation while learning in the heart of the home. If you are new to home education, designing curriculum, or the Catholic faith, a special welcome!

During this Year For Priests we join in prayer for our beloved priests who bring the Sacrament of His Body and Blood to us. We pray that the Blessed Mother wrap her mantle around our priests and through her intercession strengthen them for their ministry.

And I will give you pastors according to my own heart, and they shall feed you with knowledge and doctrine. -Jeremias 3:15

The priest has the key of the heavenly treasures; it is he who opens the door; he is the steward of the good God, the distributor of His wealth. -The Cure of Ars, St. John Vianney

St. John Mary Vianney, pray for us and all our priests!
