Homeschooling For Catholic Parents
You’re wondering if homeschooling is for you. But your inner critic is telling you you’re not enough. How can I teach my kid when we can’t get through homework without tears and yelling? How would the daily routine look? What curriculum will you use? Your house is already a wreck. You don’t want to feel isolated, like you’re on an island where everyone wears long dresses and raises goats. Plus, aren’t homeschoolers weird?
I am so excited you're here! This podcast will give you peace of mind as you raise successful adults who understand their Catholic faith and how to defend it. I’ll help you find the routine that works for you, you’ll still have community, if that’s what you want, and even a clean, organized home is possible (sometimes).
I’m Maeve Jemison, and I host this pod with my handsome husband, Mat. We’re Catholics who prioritize worship and apologetics through our homeschool journey with our five kids.
I’ve made many mistakes along the way. As a young adult, I left the Catholic church because I didn't understand what was going on. I was a government school graduate and high school teacher so I thought homeschooling meant replicating government school at home. (I was wayyyy off!)
When I finally learned the depths and truths of Catholicism, I was adamant that I would teach my little cradle Catholics about the history and beauty of the religion that Jesus started. No way would my kids be as oblivious as I was. Our homeschooling became a delightful adventure, with the Lord guiding us in tailoring our children’s education. I knew I had found my calling!
If you’re ready to thrive as the domestic church through worship, apologetics and homeschooling, then this podcast is for you!
Thanks for stopping by because home is where the truth is!

114 - Pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet With Us (Powerful Promises Inside)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Press play and pray with us—this simple chaplet carries promises you don’t want to miss.
In this episode, we slow down and step into something deeply simple… and deeply powerful.
This week, my family gathered together to pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet—and we’re inviting you to join us.
But before we press play, let’s talk about why this prayer matters.
The Divine Mercy devotion was revealed to St. Faustina Kowalska, a humble Polish nun in the 1930s. Through her visions of Jesus, recorded in her diary, she was given a message the world desperately needed: that God’s mercy is not limited, not earned, and never exhausted. Jesus asked her to spread this devotion, especially the Chaplet, as a lifeline for souls.
Years later, Pope John Paul II—himself a fellow Pole—helped bring this message to the entire Church. He canonized St. Faustina in 2000 and established Divine Mercy Sunday as a universal feast, calling mercy “the answer to the world’s deepest wounds.”
And here’s where it gets astonishing…
Jesus attached powerful promises to those who pray the Chaplet with trust:
- Whoever recites the Chaplet will receive great mercy at the hour of death
- Priests who promote it will be given extraordinary power over hardened sinners
- Even the most sinful soul who turns to this devotion will not perish
- God’s wrath is appeased when the Chaplet is prayed
- The dying person receives grace, peace, and protection
- Souls who trust in Divine Mercy will be embraced by God’s compassion
- The Chaplet can obtain anything that is in accordance with God’s will
- It brings conversion to sinners and strength to the faithful
- When prayed at the bedside of the dying, Jesus stands between the Father and the soul
- Those who spread this devotion will be protected throughout their lives
- At the hour of death, Jesus defends souls who have honored His mercy
- The Chaplet opens the floodgates of grace for the whole world
- It draws souls closer to Christ’s Passion
- It is a powerful weapon against despair
This isn’t just another prayer—it’s an invitation into the very heart of Christ.
So today, we’re not just talking about it…
We’re praying it.
Join my family as we walk bead by bead through the Divine Mercy Chaplet. Whether you’re folding laundry, driving in the car, or sitting quietly with your coffee, this is your moment to enter into His mercy.
Jesus, I trust in You.
