In honor of the Year of the Priest, Lindy Meyer (an amazingly creative mother of 6!) over at Faith Folders for Catholics (Lapbooks With the Catholic Family & Classroom in Mind), has put together a lovely new Faith Folder: The Year of the Priest.
This Faith Folder is in recognition of the Year of the Priest as declared by Pope Benedict XVI from June 19, 2009 to June 19, 2010. Topics covered include facts about the Year of the Priest, St. John Vianney, discernment, vocations and lots of facts and information about the priesthood.
This Faith Folder features two inserted pages with lots of information, activities and thought provoking material. There are 26 mini-books included with this Faith Folder.
Several options are included for the various books. The activities are easily adapted for a variety of age levels. The Faith Folder is also easily adaptable to allow for personalization and creative style.
We have our copy and my boys can’t wait to begin!
All of Lindy’s Faith Folders are available to download as a pdf file for only $7.99 each. Right now she is also offering a Summer Deal, from June 26th to August 9th, where you can get a Faith Folder for free with the purchase of four others! (Enter the coupon code “5for4” at checkout.) Since my boys *LOVED* putting together their Advent and Lent Lap books, I am hoping to take advantage of this special for the coming year!
In addition, Lindy has kindly offered a FREE COPY of the The Year of the Priest Faith Folder to one lucky visitor!

I have always wanted to try doing lapbooks with the kiddos, this looks like it would be a great one to begin with! Hope we get lucky and win it… God bless!

This folder would be a great project for the year. I've started planning for a Year of the Priest Notebook.
I love reading your blog! We just had three priests over to our house tonight…how appropriate! I have 4 little ones and they would love some summer activites!
Oh, I wanted to order this on your recommendation. We did the Lent folder and it was a great learning experience for us all especially since I am a new convert.
Thank you!
I'd love to win. My kids would too!
I would love to win this. Pick me 🙂
We have been wanting to try a lap book! This would be an excelent start.
Hey Jessica,
I am sending you an email about history. I'm trying to plan for this year, and I'm overwhelmed!!!
I would love to see what these lapbooks are all about!
Thank you for this opportunity! I'm posting a notice on my blog…
I've been reading your blog for a few months now and I have enjoyed all your activity and food ideas. I am also a homeschooling mom and we are also expecting our 6th child. Christmas baby for you…..Thanksgiving baby for us!! My husband and I lived in La Grande, Oregon for 2 years after we were 1st married but moved back to be closer to family. I love the pictures you have with the mountains in the back…..it sure takes me back to those 2 years we enjoyed such beautiful country. We are interested in the Faith Folders and would love to be entered in the contest.
Your family is beautiful and it is fun to share this exciting pregnancy time with you!! (I get my 1st ultrasound tomorrow!)
Blessings to you!
This looks fun! I am excited about The Year of the Priest especially since my "baby" brother is a seminarian!
Looks like fun! A neat way to mark this year.
Too fun! Count me in!
