Seeking Your Input

For Faith and Family magazine, we’re working on a guide to Catholic family spirituality. We are particularly interested in books, products, toys, or services that have enhanced your family’s faith life in the following areas:
1. Mass
2. Prayer
3. Confession
4. Community Service
We’d love to hear about items that nurture the faith life of parents, families, or children.
If you have an item to recommend, please send a brief description of the product, along with the ways you have used it and how it has helped your family (again—brief!) to me by email.
I will forward your responses to Lori Hadacek, the writer working on this project, and she will be in touch with any further questions.
Thanks so much for your help!
