Collection: Home Prayer Essentials
This collection of essentials for home prayer was requested by a parent and home catechist with children from 4 - 12 years old. Some of these items overlap with CGS levels 1, 2 & 3 and some are modified or original materials specifically for home use. Please check the description if you are only looking for official CGS materials.
Mothering Spirit also has a really great article about developing a home atrium.
