Make Advent more than a countdown to Christmas. Make it a family journey toward Jesus.
Come, Let Us Adore Him: A Catholic Family Read-Along Advent invites parents and children to slow down, gather together, and discover the beauty of Advent and Christmas through stories, prayer, conversation, and meaningful family activities.
Created especially for Catholic families, this beautifully illustrated 100-page book includes 25 Advent and Christmas readings that introduce children to Jesus, Mary, Joseph, beloved saints, Catholic traditions, and the deeper meaning behind the season.
Each family reading follows an easy rhythm:
LIGHT - READ - LEARN - TALK - DO - PRAY
Children will encounter the Annunciation, Mary's "yes," Saint Nicholas, the Immaculate Conception, Saint Joseph, Our Lady of Guadalupe, Saint Juan Diego, the journey to Bethlehem, the shepherds, angels, the Holy Family, the Magi, Epiphany, and, most importantly, the birth of Jesus Christ.
Families will also enjoy:
- 25 Advent and Christmas family readings
- Catholic teaching explained in child-friendly language
- Saints and Marian traditions
- Family discussion questions
- Hands-on Advent and Christmas activities
- Prayers to say together
- Drawing and journaling pages
- A Christmas Mass Detective activity
- "Why Do Catholics Do That?" explanations
- Catholic vocabulary for children
- Activities for continuing the Christmas season after December 25
- Family Christmas memory pages
- Opportunities for children of different ages to participate together
This is not simply a book to read. It is an invitation to create a family tradition.
Use it around the Advent wreath, after dinner, before bedtime, during Catholic homeschool morning time, or as part of your family prayer routine. Grandparents can also enjoy reading the stories with grandchildren.
In a season that can easily become hurried and commercial, Come, Let Us Adore Him helps families make room for what matters most.
Read together. Pray together. Grow together.
And prepare your family's hearts for the Christ Child.
