Hi Chucki! Well, I'm not sure I'll be able to keep up with a study but I am going to take a look at the choices! I won't vote unless I'm sure I can participate :)

Hi, Everyone! I just found this link through WTM Boards, and I'm so excited! Thanks, Chucki, for setting this up. Impressive! :) I need to find an avatar. I wonder if I have any pics of the Papal Mass in NYC on my laptop...
Thank you, Chucki, for setting this up! And thanks to Janette for the PM; otherwise I might never have found this board.
I need this study so badly. Either my Catholic school education (K thru 12) was sorely lacking or I have a terrible memory, because I don't feel like I know very much about my faith at all.
Robyn, I love your av. That is one of my all time fave paintings of Mary.
Mine too. Dh wants to set up a ...shrine?home altar? (not sure what to call it)...and I really want to purchase a print of that painting.
You are!? I have a half hearted altar and I want to make it nicer, but I can't seem to finf much inspiration on how to do it. How are you going about it?
We have an empty spot on the wall in the upstairs hallway. I'd like to put a small chair and narrow table there, with some art above it, a Bible, rosary...dh is interested in trying his hand at a little wood carving and he would like to start with Jesus and Mary.
It will definitely be a slow going project. But I want us to take our time and put things there that really inspire us to worship.

mamabegood, those boys are too much. Too cute, and with such sparkles in their eyes.
Thank you! Those are my brand new, freshly minted altar boys. My dh is starting a program in our parish to encourage boys to serve at the altar, with the hope and prayer that it will lead to more priestly vocations.

This is ours. It's simple but makes me focus during prayer time.

I love it. This is exactly what I have in mind, nothing too fancy (of course, we don't have much room for anything too big) but a spot for us to really be reminded to pray as we pass by and to stop and spend time and focus.

Can I go back to my Monty Python avatar? It's from the Middle Ages, so I guess they were all Catholic...LOL
(Here I go--offending right from the start...)
Bear with me--it's been a long day. I'm excited to do a study from the Catholic viewpoint.
Chris
Hey! Which one did you choose?
Yeah! Inquiring minds want to know! ( and I don't even attempt to pretend I'm not a huge Python fan... Though there is often a lengthy explanation when my kids say "odd" things in public. And I think the folks at Lowe's think there's something wrong with the whole lot of us; we all get so excited about shrubbery. ;) )
