Catholic Montessori Album/Manual

 I've been very blessed to be able to use Elizabeth Papandrea's Catholic Montessori album in my home and with our co-op children last year. It is amazing what little one's are capable of comprehending and a joy to be able to share the faith with them. I always look forward to hearing the children's reflections on the presentations. It is so sweet to hear the words and thoughts that come straight from their heart. Pure, sweet, and often profound. Some of the presentations from Elizabeth's manual have become tradition in our home. The children love the preparation time of Advent when we gather round the Advent wreath and read the prophecies of the coming Messiah. As they've gotten older, the meaning and understanding of the presentations deepens within them, and they are delighted whenever they hear some of the recognized scripture at Mass.
 My family attends the Latin Mass also known as the Extraordinary Form, and I was absolutely excited that Elizabeth has included notes for both Ordinary and Extraordinary forms!

In an effort to streamline the process, I will be helping Elizabeth process the orders for her Catholic Montessori manual. Any inquiries for the manual can be sent to me at montessoricandy@gmail.com

You can also now purchase the albums with the click of a button through Paypal! Once payment is received, you will receive the pdf album via email within 24 hours!

  1. I am so excited to see that you have her manual. I purchased her manual before she went digital on the Montessori swap group. Full colored pictures and drawings to help our family enjoy the liturgy even more. It really is hard to have a Catechesis of the Good Shepherd training to be official. Do you know if she has an online group like Karen Tyler does for Montessori albumns?

  2. Hello Holly,
    I don't believe that she does, but that's a great idea I'll pass on to her! Thanks for stopping by!

    1. Hi Holly and Susana,
      Thanks for the idea, I am giving it consideration, having an online group training of sorts. Presently, I am working on the 6-9 album and getting it ready for distribution, a large task. I should be more ready for something like this within the next year, possibly a good goal to have for 2015.

  4. Hello Maggie!
    This album is geared toward ages 3-6. Having a large family, I've even included up to age 8 in the lessons though and they still loved them! :) Hope that helps!
