I made this video with RCIA participants and those curious about the Catholic faith in mind. I go through the liturgical year and explain how the calendar works and what's involved.

*A big thanks to Deacon Bob, who gave a lecture in our RCIA class about this very topic. Most of this info is from the talk he gave.

// The Six Holy Days of Obligation (besides each Sunday)
Jan. 1 - Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God
May 30 - Ascension of Jesus
Aug. 15 - Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Nov. 1 - All Saints' Day (this is why we call Oct 31 "All Hallow's (Saints) Eve) ;)
Dec. 8 - The Immaculate Conception of Mary
Dec. 25 - The Nativity of Our Lord (Christmas)

// About Me //

My name is Laura and I am a mom to two energetic kids. We are a military family and I homeschool too! Our Catholic faith is very important to us so everything on here will be addressed from a Catholic slant: homeschooling, parenting, marriage, minimalism, homemaking, and anything else. I also have a huge heart for apologetics and helping people discover the truth in Catholicism so that's a big part of this channel to. I hope to see you in the comments and please feel free to email me privately with thoughts or questions. God bless!
