(November 14, 2025 – Fredericksburg, VA) As Advent begins November 30, American Life League’s Culture of Life Studies Program is launching three downloadable Advent booklets designed to help families deepen their spiritual preparation for Christmas while instilling pro-life values. These resources offer a fresh approach to the season, combining daily reflections, saintly inspiration, and family activities to foster a culture of life.
Unlike traditional Advent calendars, CLSP’s booklets—Waiting for Christ with Joyful Anticipation, The Mysteries of Advent, and Awaiting the Gift of Christ—integrate biblical reflections, stories of saints, and practical challenges to encourage families to live out their faith. Each booklet is tailored for all ages and meant for daily use, providing a structured yet accessible way to focus on the anticipation of Christ’s birth.
- Waiting for Christ with Joyful Anticipation pairs Bible verses with reflections on saints, offering family activities to promote joy and pro-life values.
- The Mysteries of Advent explores the 20 mysteries of the rosary, encouraging families to reflect on Jesus’ and Mary’s lives while embarking on challenges to build a culture of life.
- Awaiting the Gift of Christ connects Catechism teachings with saint biographies, guiding families to apply these lessons in their communities.
Susan Ciancio, CLSP’s director, emphasizes the booklets’ dual purpose: “These resources help families prepare their hearts for Christ while teaching children to value all human life. By weaving pro-life principles into Advent, we’re nurturing the next generation to live with love and respect for others.”
CLSP, a pre-K-12 pro-life education program, is part of American Life League’s mission to promote respect for life through education. The booklets are available for download at shop.all.org/clsp and offer families a meaningful way to align their Advent journey with faith-driven social values.
