Catholic Homeschool Planner | Liturgical Year Workbook (PDF Download) | Schooling by the Saints

A complete Catholic homeschool planning workbook for the liturgical year, from curriculum decisions to daily rhythms that actually hold.
Schooling by the Saints is not another generic planner. It is a guided workbook written specifically for the Catholic homeschooling mother who wants to build her school year around the liturgical seasons; Advent, Christmas, Lent, Easter, and Ordinary Time, and stop rebuilding her plan from scratch every fall.
25 chapters. 20 worksheets. 7 sections.
Short enough to read chapter by chapter during nap time or before the house wakes up. Structured enough to hold a full school year together.
