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.

I assume not, since I've never heard of it but I thought I'd ask with my fingers crossed.

I want a literature based program, Catholic, easy to use with more then one child, fun history and science projects, lots of liturgical year activities and saint stories, without a lot of research and planning time for Mom. Sort of like Sonlight only really Catholic.

Is it out there or should I write one and make a fortune ?

Nope.

This is why so many Catholic use Sonlight and tweak it. Because there are a few that are similar to SL, but none are quite like it.

We looked forever to find one and just couldn't. That is why we more or less make it up as we go along.

I'll be #2! But I wouldn't count on a fortune!

Well...there is Mater Amabilis. It's not exactly what you are looking for, but it is literature-based, Catholic, and all planned out.

I've looked at that and http://www.amblesideonline.org/. Both look interesting. But (how lazy is this?!?) I just want to write a check and have a big beautiful box arrive at my door. Sigh.... I'll take a closer look at MA tonight. Does anyone here use it happily?

Mater Amabilis


And it's FREE.

Also, there's a Catholic-SL yahoo eloop you can join that would help you make it into a Catholic unit study.

I believe they have even adapted the SL booklists and included Catholic books then offer the lists in their files. Not positive but I remember someone doing this.

Here's the link:

I'm picking what I like from both MA and AO and making my own up...if you want I'd be happy to put something together for you so you don't have to and then you can write the check to MOI and your BiG BEAUTIFUL boxes will come!
