Thank you to our Sponsors!

First, a great big THANK YOU to Ave Maria Press for their generous support of CatholicMom.com and our CM Hangout Podcast. Today, Ave Maria sponsors our show in name of our own CatholicMom.com contributor, Marc Cardaronella's new book, Keep Your Kids Catholic: Sharing Your Faith and Making It Stick.

Marc Cardaronella, a professional catechist, popular blogger, and father of two, has a passionate plea for Catholic parents: be your child’s primary educator in the faith by what you do and say. This practical guide gives parents what they need to be a bigger partner in handing on the faith to their children by creating a faith-nurturing environment at home.

Find Marc's book at Ave Maria PressAmazon or a Catholic book store near you. Sign up to get book launch updates and bonuses at: http://www.keepyourkidscatholic.com/. Connect with Ave Maria Press on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Pinterest.

Secondly, we'd like to shower thanks upon Sarah Reinhard for her continued support of our CM Hangout Podcast by sponsoring this episode for her book, Word by Word: Slowing Down with the Hail Mary.Word by Word is now available also from Ave Maria Press (and from your local Catholic bookstore or online at your favorite book retailer). In it, Sarah Reinhard has gathered 40 different voices to take a look at why every word — from the “Hail” right down to every single “The” — is a critical part of this prayer. So often, we all tend to whip through the Hail Mary and rattle it off without really considering what we’re praying and saying. This book is sure to make you reconsider the prayer and, hopefully, draw you closer to the Blessed Mother and, through her, to Jesus. Be sure to check the show notes and order your copy today!

You can read more about Sarah and her book here and check out what others are saying about it! Thank you again, Sarah, for your support for CatholicMom.com and the CM Hangout.

Sponsorship Open!

We have just a few more sponsorship dates open for the rest of the year! Thank you to all who have supported our CM Hangout project. If you'd like to help this project continue, the price is ripe now so send us an email to Lisa or Erika.
