We're
so glad you came to visit us...
If you would like to quickly join the Keeping It Catholic Online Support Group, PLEASE SCROLL DOWN close to the bottom of this page and look for the ONELIST box to enter your email address. Or if you wish, please feel free to first read this entire page to get some information about our online network and support group for Catholic homeschool families.
The
Keeping It Catholic Network Online
Support
List
offers camaraderie and encouragement for the homeschooling
husband, wife, and family as well as those have a positive
attitude toward homeschooling. Dedicated to
the
Holy
Family of Nazareth, with
Zelie
and Louis Martin
(parents
of the Little Flower) as our patrons, we're an online group
in support of the Catholic "way of life" known as
homeschooling.
Frequently,
parents don't have the time (or the energy) to attend a home
education support group nearby or visit with friends as
often as desired. That's ok - you can join us
online!
The KIC
OnLine Support Group
provided
by
Keeping
It Catholic (KIC) was
created specifically for Catholic homeschooling families and
their friends. It's a free
email message service that you subscribe
to!
When
you join our list, you'll also receive the free bi-monthly
Keeping It Catholic (formerly Hearts
at Home) Online Newsletter through
the Online Support Group. (Previous
copies of the magazine will be added to the KIC Web
site in the near future.)
We
even invite you to write for Keeping It Catholic!
We
have something to offer each member of your family,
too.
- For
Mom and Dad as primary educators of your
family
- We
pray for each other's intentions daily and offer support
and encouragement. Advice is offered only when asked,
(because we respect your family autonomy). Helpful
information is provided about Church teaching on the
faith, family and education.
- For
moms -
The KIC List is a mom's way of "chatting
over the cyber-fence" in
lieu of chatting over the backyard fence (just as our
moms did years ago as they were hanging clothes on the
line). In many places today, there's nobody else at home
next door.
- For
dads
-
It's our way to help support you, the
head of your home,
in a world that doesn't encourage you to be the true and
good Catholic husband and father you are called to be. It
will also help you understand that your beloved wife,
the
heart of your home,
needs to lean on you for strength as well as emotional
and spiritual support. Marriage is a sacrament and each
spouse assists and affects the other in profound
ways.
- For
teens and kids
-
Homeschooled kids are great and our upcoming
KIC Online Teen Lists will prove it. Our kids are
exciting, talented and exuberant. They have hopes and
dreams, too.
We plan to
offer a penpal
email list
for elementary grade homeschoolers (and their friends),
a list which is currently being updated.
Plans
are also being made for two online lists, one for
pre-teens
to early teen homeschoolers and their
friends.
Another will be for for upper
grade teens.
- If
you'd like your family added when the lists go
up, please email us at keepitcatholic@usa.net
(In
your message, please include basic information like
names, ages, and interests, and add your email address
inside the message, too). We'll notify you by email as
soon as they are ready.
The
Keeping
It Catholic Home Education, Faith and Family
Online
Support
Group for
parents is a private, moderated email list service. The
private
email messages arrive in your mailbox periodically
throughout the day. So there's no need to rush off to a
support group meeting feeling hurried and unkempt -
Keeping
It Catholic
mail is ready and waiting for you when
you
have
the time!
We
also moderate the
public, newly created
Keeping It Catholic Message Board
for you. If you'd like to post a message to it, please go back to our Home Page. Both the private list and the public board are
moderated by Marianna Bartold, founder of
The
Catholic Family's Magnificat! Home Education
Magazine
and
the founding homeschool editor of Sursum
Corda!
To enter your free email subscription to the private
list which offers the Keeping It Catholic Newsletter and which also introduces
you to other Catholic homeschooling parents on a daily
basis,
please be sure to type your email address in the "ONELIST" box at the BOTTOM of this page.
After sending in your email address, you'll receive a private, automated
WELCOME message
in your email box. We ask that you kindly set aside some
time to read it thoroughly as it has important info you need
to know about the Keeping It Catholic Support
Group Online List you're
joining!
The WELCOME message you'll receive gives you
information on the purpose and policies of the
Keeping It Catholic Online Support Group List.
We welcome you and and are so glad to have you with us
as you Keep
It Catholic!
in
your hearts
and homes.
Marianna Bartold,
Keeping It Catholic!
