hi,
I was looking at the Catholic Mosaic curriculum, it looks like it is once a week. I am not a Catholic but would like to incorporate the celebration of the life of Jesus through the church year, and also learning about the Saints. I do not know of anything similar that is not Catholic, and I am not "anti" Catholic in any way! But I was just wondering if the curriculum would be flexible enough to use as a non-Catholic. Maybe that will be hard for people here to know though!

Dear Angela,
I'm speaking as the proud mommy of her baby here

, but I personally think Catholic Mosaic will add to your children's love of Jesus and the saints, not take away.

I can't speak as a non-Catholic but there are several non-Catholics at Five in a Row message board who have asked these same questions. I did a quick "mosaic" search there:

FIAR moms talk about Mosaic

And here is a blog post from a very sweet Methodist mom

:

"I also got to read Cay Gibson's book Catholic Mosaic this week. I won a copy in one of her blog's bookwalks...Catholic Mosaic, though, I found especially touching. We're not a Catholic family, we're Methodist, but I always look for more books to draw out the liturgical year. I find myself wishing someone would write something as wonderful as her resource, for Methodists. I might have to do it myself (said the Little Red Hen)"

Thanks for asking, Angela.

Thanks for replying

. It does look like a lovely program!

I imagine my "comfort level" with things Catholic is much higher than a typical Protestant--a Catholic friend in high school was part of the process of my coming to God, so I had a positive impression from day one. Some of the "mystical" elements are what intrigue me most! But I do need to work it out with dh and his comfort level, which is different than mine. BUT he is a history buff, and interested in the saints from that angle. So maybe I was wondering about approaching the curriculum in that way, these were people in church history . . .
