The Year and Our Children

For over half a century, Catholic families have treasured the practical piety and homespun wisdom of Mary Reed Newland’s classic of domestic spirituality, tips for how to live out and celebrate our faith at home. The book offers guidance in reclaiming All Souls and All Saints from the popular occultism of modern Halloween. The author also demonstrates why Church tradition accords special meaning to certain foods, colours, and symbols, and how these add to the incarnational character of Catholic spirituality allowing children to experience the Faith through sight, smell, touch, and taste.
