# Celebrating Easter with a Break!

Apr 1, 2013 4:49:23 PM  |  by [Sarah Reinhard](https://www.catholicmom.com/articles/author/sarah-reinhard)

**Happy Easter!**

[![CatholicMomProj-logo-300x238](https://www.catholicmom.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/CatholicMomProj-logo-300x238-1.png?width=300&height=238&name=CatholicMomProj-logo-300x238-1.png)](https://www.catholicmom.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/CatholicMomProj-logo-300x238-1.png)

Lisa and I want to, first of all, **THANK YOU for your generous support for the [first CatholicMom.com Project](http://catholicmom.com/book/a-catholicmom-com-project-providing-spiritual-support-for-pregnant-women/). **

We don't have final numbers yet, but we did top $5,000. When we have the final totals, we will be sure to announce it here.

Which brings me to the second point of this post: **we're taking a site-wide break.**

You won't see any new columns until Monday, April 8, in celebration of the Octave of Easter and to give ourselves a chance to breathe in the sunshine (if there's any where we are) and the joy of the season.

**We'll "see" you on Monday, April 8.** Thanks again for your awesomeness and know that you all remain in our prayers.
