Homeschool Connections is once again bringing together top speakers and vendors for their 3rd annual virtual Catholic Homeschool Conference: “Empowering You to Homeschool Joyfully”. While on-line events hit their high due to the pandemic, this virtual event continues to reach thousands of international homeschoolers seeking community without ever leaving their home.
Completely on-line, this amazing event will offer live talks by exciting Catholic speakers such as Fr. Augustine Wetta, OSB, seen on EWTN, author of The Eighth Arrow and Humility Rules; he is also known as the surfing monk from his encounter with a shark! Danielle Bean, mother of 8, author, podcast host, and brand manager for CatholicMom.com, along with Sonja Corbitt, author of the best-selling Unleashed and her podcast Bible Study Evangilista are just two of the stellar list of speakers.
Over the two days, there will also be full access to live panel discussions for Moms, Dads, and Special Needs families. There will be experts helping attendees in Decluttering Your Homeschool, Homeschooling Multiple Ages and so much more.
Maureen Wittmann, co-founder and co-director of Homeschool Connections along with partner Walter Crawford, knows this year will be unlike previous events. She says, “I’m really excited for this year’s conference as we’ve taken it up a few notches. It’ll be much more interactive and engaging than many other online conferences. We’ll have engaging talks, group workshops with breakout rooms, interactive exhibitor booths, and more!”
Elaine, a previous attendee, says, “COME TO THE CONFERENCE! This conference is a gold mine of information for veterans and newbies alike on such a broad spectrum of topics from Shakespeare to book recommendations to special education to Catholic living.”
From the comfort of their own home, or together with friends, all attendees will have opportunities to visit with colleges such as Franciscan University, Catholic University of America and others. Covenant Eyes, Guadalupe Radio and Holy Heroes, long supporters of every Catholic family, will also be present as hosts.
Bringing together Catholic Schoolhouse, Kolbe Academy, Oxrose Academy and Collegium and other on-line school platforms parents will get a chance to get their questions answered and even register for the upcoming school year. Other quality Catholic companies such as Ignatius Press, TAN Books, Nobis Pacem and dozens more will also be there.
At this one-of-a-kind virtual event homeschool families will be able to find all they need to homeschool their children from kindergarten on through high school with success and with joy!

A Closed, Unsustainable, Descending Loop
As a follow-up to my thoughts on Payette’s payout, here be a stark image of where are here in Canada. As the graph shows in, well, graphic terms, since 2025, the public sector has contributed to 95.5% of economic growth. The private sector – which funds the public sector, or is supposed to – has[…]Continue reading→
Remembering Father Alphonse de Valk
(Today marks the sixth anniversary of the death of Father Alphonse de Valk, C.S.B., a faithful, courageous and indefatigable Basilian priest, pro-life-and-family apostle, and the founder of Catholic Insight magazine. Here is what we wrote those on his entering into eternity five years ago, as we continue to remember him in our prayers and thoughts)[…]Continue reading→
Presidential Pardon of Weronika Krawczyk
As a good news, follow-up to our story from Poland, of the persecution of Weronika Krawczyk for her pro-life views, we heard that she has been granted a presidential pardon. One might still wonder why one needs a presidential pardon for simply holding the long-held belief that the child within the womb is a child,[…]Continue reading→
Pope Leo and a Rosary for Peace
Pope Leo XIV has asked Catholics across the world to join him in a Rosary for peace today, at 18:00 Rome time (6 pm), which would be noon from where I write (EST). If you are able, whether at that time or another, and in whatever way you pray, to join in intercession with the[…]Continue reading→
Payette’s Payout
I was glancing through some headlines, and noticed a mention of Julie Payette – engineer and astronaut and sometime the Queen’s representative in Canada – which brought back vague memories. She was appointed Governor-General by Justin Trudeau in 2017. Ms. Payette resigned in 2021, amidst claims that she created a ‘toxic work environment’, with allegations[…]Continue reading→
Saint Stanislaus of Szczepanów
We celebrate Saint Stanislaus today (+ April 11, 1079), in light of this Easter Octave, a bishop and martyr who accepted the episcopacy only at the direct order of Pope Alexander II. He proved a wise and courageous leader of his flock, put to death by his own king, Boleslaus, for rebuking the monarch’s ‘immoral[…]Continue reading→
Weronika Krawczyk and Injustice in Poland
Catholic Action in Poland has issued a formal statement appealing to the President of the Republic of Poland to pardon Weronika Krawczyk—convicted for warning other women against an abortion-performing gynaecologist. Catholic Action (AK) emphasizes that no apology is owed to a doctor who has performed numerous abortions and proposed others; furthermore, the organization considers the[…]Continue reading→
Three Easter Musical Gems: Bach, Palestrina and Byrd
A very blessed and glorious Easter! Christus surrexit vere, alleluia! As we begin this Easter Octave with the great Solemnity of Easter, music to lift the soul would be one of Bach’s Easter cantatas, composed during his time at Leipzig in the early 1700’s, for the six Sundays of this festive season, leading up to[…]Continue reading→
Saint Isidore of Seville, the Internet and Industriousness
Today, April 4th, muted this year by Holy Saturday, is the commemoration of Saint Isidore of Seville (560-636) a bishop and doctor of the Church during a tumultuous age, when civilization was crumbling, coming apart at its very seams, which may sound sort of au courant. Then again, the form of this world has always[…]Continue reading→
An Ancient Homily for Holy Saturday
The time between Good Friday and Easter Sunday is one of waiting, in silence, as the world wonders – anticipates – what will happen, after the death of Christ. We re-live this time each year in the anamnesis of our liturgy, and in turn look forward to the glorious re-creation of all things at the[…]Continue reading→
