If you are plugged into the online Catholic world, then you’ve likely heard of Lisa Hendey. She’s the podcasting, blogging, webmastering, book-authoring Catholic Mom that everybody loves. I’ve only ever heard kind, awesome things about Lisa. And last year, I actually got to meet her in person where we were both presenters at the Catholic New Media Celebration. She’s a very cool gal and is accomplishing so many great things. And I know she is an inspiration to many other moms when they see her ability to fully embrace motherhood - both in the home and professionally.
Much of Lisa’s work falls under the grander effort of CatholicMom.com. But CatholicMom.com is not just Lisa Hendey. She’s managed to build a team of outstanding contributors and offers a smorgasbord of extensive resources. It’s got something for everyone, but it’s especially geared towards some of the most special people among us: Moms.
About CatholicMom.com: We celebrate all things Faith, Family, and Fun from a Catholic perspective. Enjoy fresh perspectives from our wonderful columnists and contributors. Read the latest selections from our Book Club. Check out great tunes from an array of talented Catholic musicians. Help your child make the most of the Liturgy of the Word with our Sunday Gospel activities. Listen to our weekly Catholic Moments Podcast for interviews with special people doing extraordinary things to live out our Catholic faith and share it with others. Come along on one Catholic Mom’s spiritual journey through every day life at Lisa’s Blog.
I encourage every Catholic mom to get plugged in to CatholicMom.com. It just makes good sense really. It utilizes just about every aspect of new media and successfully connects with a very important niche within the Catholic community.
Additionally, you can now get Lisa’s new book, The Handbook for Catholic Moms: Nurturing Your Heart, Mind, Body and Soul. I’ve got a copy next to my bed waiting to be read at the next chance I get. I’ll be reviewing it over on Fallible Blogma once I finish it soon. Yes, I realize I’m not a Catholic Mom. But we Catholic dads need our heart, mind, body and soul nurtured, too. And I’m sure it will have some great insights for me. I can’t wait to read it!

What a sweet review of CatholicMom! I bet that Lisa is rightly beaming! It makes me proud to have been a contributor and regretting my decision to stop writing so much. Maybe I’ll have to rethink that! Thanks for the push I probably needed!
Matthew, wow - what a wonderful early Mother’s Day present for me and all of the moms who contribute to CatholicMom.com and to the Handbook! Thanks for helping me to spread the word that we’re always welcoming contributors to the website. If you’re a mom, dad, kid, priest or person who has an interest in writing, feel free to get in touch with me to find out how you can become a part of the CatholicMom.com family of contributors!
Thanks Matt for all of your hard work and for the good you are doing to help us be the “soul of the Internet”!
I am looking for Catholic grandmothers who have at least three grandchildren. Grandparents contribute a great deal to the “tuath” (extended family of children and grandchildren) and parent the parents as well as the grandchildren. I would like to interview, either by e-mail or phone, grandparents who have had more than 1 or 2 grandchildren, especially where there have been special challenges, such as grandchildren with autism, diabetes, severe allergies, childre n who need extra help, keeping in contact with grandchildren in another state or country, cross cultural grandparenting, absence of a parent for the grandchildren through death, separation, etc. My purpose in asking for this input is beacuse I plan to write a child and grandchild care book and am turning to the experts for input. Thanks so much for any input you can give. I can be reached by e-mail at kschlaerth@LLU.edu Katherine R. Schlaerth, MD Fellow, American Academy of Pediatrics, Asssociate Professor of Family Medicine LLU School of Medicine, Associate Professor Emeritus of Family Medicine and Pediatrics, USC School of Medicine
Yes, I agree, CatholicMom.com is a wonderful website to visit with healthy, balanced and intelligent content not just for moms, but for all Catholics to enjoy and by which to be nourished. Way to go, Lisa!
