The Art of Catholic Mothering: How does a Catholic mother instill the Faith in her children?

How does she deal with issues of education and discipline, how does she maintain her own faith-and hold her family together-in the face of life’s routine or unexpected challenges?

To answer these questions, editor Maura Koulik has gathered the stories of twelve Catholic mothers in this beautiful collection, The Art of Catholic Mothering. With grace, honesty, humility and a lot of humor, these mothers tell of their struggles, both the everyday and the extraordinary. They write about gathering their children for the family rosary, persevering when money and support are scarce, finding solid Catholic education and guidance for their families, surviving personal tragedies and, most of all, about living a truly Catholic life in the modern world. The experiences of these women will move, awe and inspire readers.

Not just for mothers, this book is important reading for any woman who hopes someday to raise her children in the Faith, and for any husband who is determined to place the Church at the centre of his married life, and truly support and encourage his wife in the difficulties she faces in mothering. Within these stories the reader will find support and comfort, as only those who have already lived the vocation of Catholic motherhood can give.
