Lent is often a time for picking up a spiritual book and delving deeper into Christ’s Passion. These five books go deeper in unique ways. With one exception, these books are, or include, biblical fiction. We know fiction builds empathy, so what a great way to immerse yourself in the life of Christ this holy season!
3 CommentsI made a last-minute decision to bring back one of the best things I did online in 2020 – the #CatholicFictionChallenge! I’ve kept some categories the same, others are new. Still 100% fun.
So, why bring it back?
One of my “things” is to be an advocate for Catholic fiction!
What is Catholic fiction? Well, we could have a scholarly discussion on the topic, but for our purposes here, let’s say it’s fiction written with a Catholic worldview.
To help bring some of the fantastic Catholic fiction out there to the forefront, I’m again hosting an IG challenge in February that will allow us to share our favorites and not-yet favorites that have caught our eye so that more and more readers (including me!) can discover them.
If you’re on Instagram, please join in the #CatholicFictionChallenge beginning February 1, 2021. Join us for one day, every day, or somewhere in between.

Once upon a time, we had calendars that included plenty of service opportunities for all of us, including our kids of varying ages. From serving at Mass to a wide-variety of parish events, school activities, group service projects, and more, there was never a loss of small needs for us to fill.
Enter COVID-related closures and restrictions and gone are, well, virtually ALL of those opportunities from Christmas caroling at homes for the aged to serving fish dinners. Nearly every opportunity has been wiped out.
And yet, there is more need than ever from people who are financially burdened, socially isolated, physically ill, and spiritually and psychologically stressed.
