Mary Help of Christians Homeschoolers

The Ning group idea I was talking about has materialised at maryhch.ning.com. All interested in homeschooling are encouraged to have a look, join up, upload photos, event listings and lots of comments.

A New Book of Old Hymns

The Hymnbooks are on hold till further notice awaiting permission to print under Code of Canon Law no. 826. Contact me for enquiries.

One problem with the books was that they had no extra information on how to read the chant so people would take one look and put them back because they had no idea how to interpret the music for most of the hymns. I'm working on this howto.pdf, a concise explanation in plain english.

Another hurdle is the need for an audio recording. The hymnbook page has a table of contents linked to free mp3s available from the Christus Rex website thanks to Luis Quiroz and the Monks of St Benedict in Sao Paolo, Brazil.

About Us

We're a family of six living in the beautiful Blue Mountains west of Sydney, Australia. We have four boys, one cat and an assortment of computers which we try to look after as best we can. You might have met us on a Sunday at The Maternal Heart of Mary Church, Lewisham. Lately we've been going to Mass at Lawson instead. Much closer to where we live and still great FSSP priests.

Here are all sorts of things. The main projects are Peter Brandt's Fine art and portraiture and Veronica's Music Collection. As you might expect, there are also Family photos and an assortment of Articles including book reviews, crochet patterns and musings on Catholicism, domestic life and Linux.

This web page serves as a handy record of what we've been doing. It has built up slowly over time in a fairly haphazard way. Updates come sporadically and unpredictably. Hopefully, with the growth and development of our IT department, this collection will become more organised and useful.
