"Cradle Catholic, Convert, or Curious Inquirer . . . you will quickly find there are more Catholic customs, traditions, habits, and points of etiquette than articles of the Creed, and so, for easier access, my bet is that you will find it handy to have all this lore in one 50,000 word document."
— From Being Catholic: What Every Catholic Should Know
Paperback, 224 pages.
PRAISE:
“Suzie Andres, with characteristic insight and humor, has brilliantly put together in a single volume, an opportunity to embrace “a joyful remembrance” of some of the most beautiful aspects of our Catholic Faith and tradition. The conversational tone makes it a delight to read. When so much has been lost in our frantic, secularized culture, wise, friendly conversation about such substantial things, is sorely needed. I joyfully welcome and recommend this beautiful book!"
--Dr. Timothy T. O’Donnell, President, Christendom College
