| Catholic Education and All About Lent with Katie Bogner | 18 Feb 2025 | 00:35:24 | |
In this episode, we chatted with Katie Bogner, teacher and catechist (and blogger from LookToHimAndBeRadiant.com). Covering topics related to her experience teaching in both public and Catholic school as well as working parish catechetical ministry, we discussed school choice, obstacles and challenges she sees her middle schoolers facing, and ways that families can vibrantly live their Catholic faith together, especially through the lens of the liturgical year. Katie wrote the book alongside illustrator and designer Shari Van Vranken, whom you might know as the talented "Saint Lady" behind CatholicPaperGoods.com. All about Lent is like a handbook for families for the whole Lenten Season. It highlights the many treasures of prayer and tradition of this holy season, making it easy to share truth and beauty (but in perfect bite sized pieces and kid friendly language). Even though we might think of Lent as being a season that is difficult to share with children, it really is a perfect invitation for Catholics of all ages to pray and fast and give together.
