It’s such as awesome time to be Catholic because of all of the beautiful resources available to us – in and out of the classroom! Today, we are going back to school with Holy Heroes resources.
I recently got to ask Clara Davison, Brand Manager of Holy Heroes, about all of the fun and new resources they have for heading back to school. Read on to see what they have available for families, catechists, and Catholic school teachers!

Family Prayer Time
AC: Please tell us about any resources to help families pray more this school year.
HH: We have an entire Back to School collection to help families prepare for the school year! Specifically, our Prayer for Priests & Prayer for Students card is a must-have for Catholic students this year. We know how hard our parish priests work to provide us with the Sacraments and spiritual support. We need to support them with our PRAYERS. Now you can begin every school day with a St. John Vianney’s Prayer for your parish priest, then flip the card over to pray St. Thomas Aquinas’ prayer for students (especially powerful before tests)!
If you are a parent looking to install good habits this school year, the Only for Today prayer card is another fantastic resource! Begin each day with Pope Saint John XXIII Daily Decalogue, where you go through 10 statements to focus on for the day. Watch your school days transform with these 10 “only for today” habits!
AC: We are still celebrating our new Pope in our house! Do you have any resources for learning about the Papacy or praying for our new Pope?
HH: We are so excited to encourage kids to pray for our new Pope Leo XIV! With original artwork, this Pope Leo XIV prayer card has been wildly popular! Please get this prayer card (or this Catholic phone case!) and remember to keep our Holy Father in your prayers.
If kids have questions about how Pope Leo XIV was chosen, We Have a Pope is a perfect picture book to answer questions in an engaging way! See inside the walls of the Sistine Chapel and see how the cardinals elect a new Pope! Read this book and then celebrate our new Pope with our FREE Pope Party decorations!
AC: We know there is the much anticipated canonization of Carlo Acutis coming up this summer! Do you have any books or activities about this amazing saint? Maybe anything for a canonization party to celebrate?
HH: We are so excited for the canonization of Carlo Acutis! In honor of his upcoming canonization, we have released a large bilingual Carlo Acutis coloring book to help the littlest Catholics celebrate this new saint! We offer up to 35% off bulk orders of this 32-page coloring book so consider purchasing copies for all the children in your school or parish (or send this article to your DRE)!
Organization and Planning
AC: Please tell us about any resources or products that can help students, teachers, and/or parents stay organized this year.
HH: We sell out every year so you don’t want to miss this Catholic Daily Planner! Applicable for parents, teachers, AND students, this planner includes special feast days and Sundays for both the Ordinary and Extraordinary Church Calendar! You can read dozens of reviews from excited Catholic families here.
Resources for Parish Catechists and Catholic School Teachers
AC: What resources do you have for parish catechists or Catholic school teachers as we enter this school year? Please tell us about them!
HH: We offer a 30% discount on Holy Heroes resources to parishes and Catholic schools! You can browse our Parishes and Schools Collection for unique resources and email customerservice@holyheroes.com to get set up with a 30% discount.
Teaching the Faith at Home
AC: What recommendations or resources do you have for parents to teach their kids the faith in their homes this school year? Anything specific for different age categories (toddler, elementary, middle, high school) or for whole family learning?
HH: A great way to teach prayers to your littlest children is our Prayers in Sacred Art collection! Paired with stunning Sacred Art, these hardcover books walk children through The Apostles’ Creed, Hail Holy Queen, Guardian Angel prayer, and St. Michael the Archangel prayer!
For late elementary and early middle school, the Very Young Catholic Project is a must for sharing the joy of the universal Church through the eyes of children around the world! With 17 books currently available (and more coming every year!), visit Dubai, Australia, Thailand, Argentina, Togo, Iceland, and MORE to discover what it is like to be Catholic in every time zone. These 90+ page volumes include beautiful photographs and insights alongside engaging stories that can be enjoyed by kids ages 8-13 years old. This series makes a great supplement to your theology, geography, or social studies curriculum.
Coming soon from Holy Heroes this Fall!
AC: Is there anything new coming to Holy Heroes this fall that we can look out for? Or, anything else you would like to share with our readers?
HH: We have a new Glory Story coming this fall…you won’t want to miss it! Make sure you check back regularly for it to be announced!
Thank you so much, Clara! We are so excited for all of these resources and cannot wait to find out who the New Glory story will be!
