We offer standalone lessons on topics such as the sanctity of life, marriage, euthanasia, the preborn baby, caring for others, and many lessons on saints that range from one day to four weeks and that are easily integrated into a school, a homeschool, or a CCE lesson plan.  Susan Ciancio is a freelance editor who serves as the director and executive editor of American Life League’s Culture of Life Studies Program and is executive editor of ALL’s Celebrate Life Magazine.  #### Show Notes Links:  - Susan Ciancio at Catholic Mom: [https://www.catholicmom.com/articles/author/susan-ciancio](https://www.catholicmom.com/articles/author/susan-ciancio)   - [CLSP website: all.org/clsp  ](https://all.org/clsp) - [CLSP essay contest page: prolifeessay.com ](https://all.org/clsp/pro-life-essay-contest) We love to hear from you with feedback, questions & ideas for future podcast topics.
