What does it really mean to be a patriot?

Join Miss Katie for a special Tea Time as we discover that true freedom isn't simply being able to do whatever we want—it's having the freedom to choose what is good. Together, we'll explore what the Catholic Church teaches about patriotism and why Catholics are called to love, serve, and pray for their country while always placing God first.

Through inspiring stories and timeless truths, children will learn that faithful Catholics make the very best patriots because they seek the good of their neighbor, honor those who serve, and work to build a nation rooted in virtue. Most importantly, we'll remember that while we are grateful for our earthly homeland, our ultimate home is Heaven.

This episode is especially for the grown-ups — parents, grandparents, homeschoolers, teachers, and caregivers — offering encouragement and simple inspiration for creating meaningful “tea time” moments within the rhythm of your home life.

Tea time does not need to look perfect or Pinterest-worthy to become something beautiful and memorable for your children.

For some families, tea time may mean a carefully set table with little teacups, flowers, candles, warm cookies, and steaming mugs of tea or hot chocolate. For others, it may simply be a quiet few moments cuddled together on the couch beneath a blanket after a long and busy day.

Perhaps your family listens during bedtime routines with dim lights and sleepy eyes. Perhaps tea time happens during afternoon quiet time while children color softly nearby. And for some families in especially busy seasons, tea time may happen in the car between errands, activities, and appointments — turning even ordinary moments into opportunities for beauty, peace, and togetherness.

In this episode, Miss Katie shares the heart behind Tea Time for Little Catholics and encourages families to create small rituals of calm and wonder that children will come to treasure. Through stories, prayers, catechism, poetry, liturgical traditions from both the old and new calendars, and moments of peaceful reflection, this podcast hopes to become a gentle companion in your family’s journey of faith.

Because children remember the atmosphere of a home long after childhood has passed — the warmth, the peace, the stories, the prayers, and the feeling that something sacred and special was happening there.
