Catholic Gadget: Catholic Family Toolbar

Catholic Gadget - Catholic Family Toolbar

{This information can also be found at the Catholic Gadget Website.  For updates on happenings about The Catholic Gadget, you can become a fan of the Catholic Gadget on Facebook.}

The Catholic Gadget is a toolbar (which sits at the top of your computer screen when you have up your browser) that is perfect for Catholic families. Although the toolbar was originally designed with homeschoolers in mind, we quickly realized that most Catholic families would find links that would be beneficial as they help to shape their children in their faith.  From First Communion Banners to Confirmation names, from Catholic blogs to crafts galore – The Catholic Gadget is here to make your domestic church a more faith-filled place.

Catholic homeschoolers will especially enjoy the Catholic Gadget as a great source for curriculum suppliers, homeschooling encouragement, links to email lists for a variety of homeschooling methods, and much more.

And one of the best things about the Catholic Gadget?  The toolbar is totally free to download and use!

If you already have a favorite toolbar that you use (maybe The Homeschool Gadget Toolbar?), you can download the 2 Go version of the Catholic Gadget to add some of the features to your existing toolbar.  (Please visit the Catholic Gadget Website and scroll to the bottom of the page to see the 2 Go options.)  Although the toolbar is actually thin enough that you can have more than one toolbar on your computer at the same time.

Some of the features of the Catholic Gadget Toolbar:

  • Fabulous Catholic Blogs (with new blogs added often)
  • Popular Catholic Homeschool Curriculum Sites
  • Crafts and Celebration Ideas for a Variety of Holidays and Feast Days
  • Helpful Information on All Seven Sacraments
  • Email Lists for a Variety of Homeschooling Methods and Curricula (including Catholic email lists for several of large non-Catholic curriculum suppliers)
  • RSS Feeds
  • One Click Access to Homeschool Communities and Forums
  • Tools such as Weather Forecasts, Email Notifier, and Radio Player
  • Built in Google Search Engine
  • And More!
