Have you ever wanted a keepsake that not only captures your child’s developmental milestones, but also their relationship with the Lord?
That’s the product I envisioned after my first child was born. I searched for a modern memory book that encompassed the sacramental life and other important faith-based events…but found none. With a nudge from the Holy Spirit, I decided to craft my own book, My Catholic Keepsake.
My company, Thy Olive Tree, aims to provide families with memory books that reflect the truth, goodness, and beauty of the Catholic Faith. Most baby books stop at year 5, but since your child’s faith is a journey, My Catholic Keepsake lets you track memories all the way through high school. Every book contains full-color pages with sophisticated illustrations that even teens will appreciate. Saint quotes and scripture verses accompany each milestone—from Baptism to Confirmation, and from first steps to the first days of school. An additional 8 blank pages and a dedicated space to write a letter after Senior Year give you the room to tell even more unique stories of your child’s journey with God.
Thoughtfully designed for busy Catholic families, this book contains just enough without being overwhelming. The photo-based approach of My Catholic Keepsake makes it easy to jump in at any time, even if you’ve never kept a memory book before.
You’re giving your child the greatest gift of all: faith. My Catholic Keepsake is the perfect token to remind them of how far they’ve come in their faith (and life) as they enter the world as a disciple of Christ.
