Look deeper and see God’s brilliance defy our intellect! Click over to the full Family Conquest. The “To Do” activity in the Wrapping It Up section asks the family to share about a bird that delights them.

(i.e. a Glory Be, or Our Father, or Hail Mary, or ‘Jesus, Mary, Joseph, we love You! Save souls!’)
- It fattens itself just enough to make its seasonal 88-hour trip from Alaska to Hawaii without stopping!
- It flies in formation with other plovers to save enough energy to be able to complete its flight.
- It loses 50% of its weight during the trip.
- Baby Plovers somehow figure out the flight path to Hawaii without ever having been there or being led by other birds.
- These creatures are just amazing!
- We still don’t understand how they do what they do.
- They must have been created that way by God from the beginning.
If you enjoy learning about how amazing God’s creatures are, you can purchase the DVDs or watch on Prime Video: Creatures that Defy Evolution. My children love this series, and we have also given these DVDs as gifts.

Feed that Fire!
The FREE Family Conquest program helps parents “Feed that Fire today… before it’s too late!”
- What Fire? The love of God and of family.
- Too Late? 13 is the average age a child rejects the Faith and his family in his heart! By age 22, that decision shows itself. Today, 85% of Catholic kids leave the Faith!
- Why This Works? WATCHING together Viral YouTube videos and BONDING together through the faith Q&A’s is fun and effective. It also helps parents and kids learn God’s language of parable, so they can discern God speaking in their prayer!
DONATE HERE. Help us help families before it’s too late!
