Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Welcome! 4Real provides peer support for Catholic parent home educators
committed to nurturing learning in a
Catholic
family atmosphere.
We support families who design their own course of home studies, be it in whole
or part. We emphasize the Church's Liturgical Year, living books, nature, beauty
in art, music, and natural methods of learning. 4Real has its roots in a Catholic
Charlotte Mason Yahoo group and has grown by providing a welcome to like-minded
parents, especially those who are new to home education (homeschooling) or the Catholic faith.
4Real hopes to continue its ministry emphasizing 'Living Learning' discussions
that are rich in ideas, gratifying, inspiring, and encourage creativity. This
do-it-yourself desire will be further supported by 'Home as Haven' chats. We are
closed Sundays and other special days.
We warmly invite you to join us in participating in this community. Grab a cup of tea and read more
