"Lindy Meyer is a busy mother and active parishioner at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish in Concordia. She has developed a very practical tool which parents and catechists will find helpful as a supplement to their catechetical programs. I am grateful for her initiative in designing these Faith Folders for Catholics."

What is a Faith Folder?

A Faith Folder is our version of a Lapbook^TM. Our Faith Folders are Catholic based and are used to teach and spread the Catholic Faith. They are sold as a digital product to be downloaded as a pdf file by the customer.

What is a Lapbook?^TM

A lapbook^TM is a tool used to showcase and consolidate material studied and learned on a given topic. A lapbook^TM is created from a file folder, refolded to create a book which can be held in the lap. Many different mini-books and other special projects are then stored and displayed in the lapbook^TM. Lapbooks^TM can be used for science, social studies, phonics, religion and so much more. The possibilities are endless!

What are Faith Rings?

Faith Rings are a new product available from Faith Folders for Catholics. Each ring holds a set of laminated cards on a variety of faith based topics. Examples include Catholic Prayers, Ten Commandments and Works of Mercy. These are sold as a finished product that will be shipped to the customer.

A Special Note About Faith FolderOptions:

The Faith Folders are now available in two formats: e-book and cd-rom. Both are still the same pdf file but the method of delivery is different.

When you add a Faith Folder to your shopping cart you will be directed to the Quick Shopping Cart system. If you want the e-book version, you just need to add that item to your cart. Shortly after checkout is complete you will receive an email with the access code to download the file automatically.

If you would like to purchase the cd-rom version you can click add item to cart from the website, which will take you to the shopping cart system. From there you will need to select the Faith Folders on cd-rom option. When you add that item to your cart, you will need to select the desired Faith Folder topic.

This may be a bit confusing at first and I am researching better shopping cart options to make the process simpler. Please bear with me. If you have any questions or any trouble ordering please feel free to contact me at questions@lapbooksforcatholics.com and I will be happy to help.

A Special Note About The Various Products:

The Faith Folders are a digital product, available as a pdf file. When purchasing a Faith Folder you will either be able to automatically download the pdf file or have the file on cd-rom shipped to you. Once you receive the file, you print the pages as needed or desired and complete the Faith Folder project with the child(ren). You will need to supply your own paper, file folder, scissors, glue and desired embellishments. If you choose the PayPal option, I will make every attempt to email the files to you as quickly as possible. Please remember that I am a mom of six, family life may cause a delay in delivery on some occassions. I promise to ship mail orders as soon as possible, usually within 1-2 days. Thank You!

The Faith Rings are a finished product. They are much like flashcards but are laminated and held together on a "ring" so they stay together. Children can easily flip through the set of cards as they view and learn the material within. The finished set of Faith Rings will be shipped to you via US Mail within one week of your purchase.

Suggestions For Using Our Faith Folders:

Adapt and make our Faith Folders your own. Individual creativy is most welcome!
Print with a plan. Look over the whole document before printing. Many pages will not need to be printed. Printing with a plan will also allow you to choose different colors and weights of paper for the various components.
