🌲GIVE THE GIFT OF NATURE THIS CHRISTMAS Dear Friends of the Saint Kateri Conservation Center, As we journey through Advent and prepare for the joyful celebration of Christ’s birth, we want to share a wonderful resource that has touched young hearts over the past year. Our book, God Made That! Catholic Nature Field Guide has now been in the hands of families, teachers, and Catholic schools for nearly a year, and the feedback has been inspiring. Originally written for children ages 8 to 12, we’ve discovered that Catholics of all ages are using it: parents, grandparents, homeschoolers, catechists, and others who love learning about God’s creation. 🎁This Christmas, we invite you to consider God Made That! as a meaningful gift for the people you love. Why this book is special: God Made That! brings together the science of ecology and the Catholic faith, helping readers see creation as a sacred gift and a reflection of God’s love. Through saints, wildlife, prayers, hands-on activities, and nature reflections, the book encourages children and adults alike to encounter God in the beauty of the natural world. Inside you’ll find: • Beautifully written descriptions of animals, plants, and major North American habitats • Inspiring saint stories, including Saint Kateri Tekakwitha and Saint Francis of Assisi • Nature journal prompts and practical activities for home or school • Prayers and reflections to guide outdoor experiences • Illustrations by Fiona Osbaldstone • A faithful Catholic perspective, complete with an Imprimatur from Cardinal Seán O’Malley Families have used God Made That! in backyards, at parks, on nature walks, in classrooms, during prayer time, and even in parish programs. We hope our book continues to bless many more homes, parishes, and schools. This Christmas, consider giving the gift of faith, wonder, and creation — a gift that can enrich hearts throughout the year. Thank you for supporting the mission of the Saint Kateri Conservation Center. May the beauty of God’s creation fill your hearts with peace and joy this Christmas. God Made That! is available at Amazon and our publisher, Pauline Books & Media.
