Home Altar Checklist

The home altar checklist is meant to bring to mind everything you use through the liturgical year that can be stored in or near the home altar. Yes, it includes the physical items of the altar—crucifix, candles, etc.—but it also contains the other various items connected to the altar (extra supplies) and things that may be used around the altar during certain seasons and holidays.
