Catholics, please answer …?
I want to create a small altar in my house for my family to pray about. I love the idea of having some place to all get together and say our prayers. I know some other Catholic families who have a table with a statue of Jesus, Mary and several saints. Most have also holy water. I want to know if there are special criteria that I must continue to do this. Is it basically what it is, or is there any guide for setting up an altar for a Catholic home? I have looked like statues and shops, but they could not find any. Is there a good source for these things online that is relatively inexpensive? Thanks for all your help. God bless!

Lots of shopping Catholics have statues, statuettes, and the images of Christ, Mary and various saints. Many of them have websites, too, as the link PANGEL so kindly included in your reply. You should be able to get holy water from almost any Catholic church. In fact, it could suggest the same question in one or two churches often have small nurseries in different parts of the building or in the next mini-chapels and probably the details to answer your question better.
Go to http://www.ewtn.com and look in their catalog for all kinds of things you need. Is right and just to make your house a replica of a small church as the family must resemble the Holy Family. Candles, statues, holy water, everything is good and make wonderful focal points for prayer. I always like to light my candles when I get home from Mass and then is like the candle shrine that is always on when the Blessed Sacrament is present in the tabernacle.
I wish my family pray together. I just have a crucifix in my room and some images of Mary and some saints. The Rosary is close to that I'm lazy and pray. I have a small prayer book that is 98 years old and has come to me through the family.
Not any standard or special requirements for an altar, an altar can put anywhere in your house, you can put any saint or any image of Jesus and Mary, wherever.
