Most priests do not know much about homeschooling, Catholic or otherwise. It really isn't their area of expertise, and some of them are annoyed if you are a member of their parish but don't use the parish school.
Here's a list of Catholic homeschool curriculum providers (simple search including the word homeschool will give you their links):
Catholic Heritage Curriculum (mentioned above)
Seton Home Study (the most accredited)
Kolbe
Our Lady of Victory School
Mother of Divine Grace
Our Lady of the Rosary
Angelicum
Mercy Academy
Regina Coeli
There are other neat stores which carry specialty items, like the miniature Mass kit at "Our Father's House".
Each company is a bit different. Good luck finding the perfect fit for your family!

What do you mean by program? An online thing? Something to sign up with? Or just the books and whatnot?
One place for Catholic resources for homeschoolers is http://www.chcweb.com/catalog/index.html .
If you're looking for something more like a school, check out Seton http://www.setonhome.org/

I'm Catholic and am using the Our Lady of Victory school program. They've got great books and you can get lesson plans which makes it easier. They're based in Indian I'm pretty sure but I live in N.Y I just mail in my grades every so often.

In the past I used both St. Elizabeth Seton and Kolbe Academy with my daughter. Neither one really suited our needs, as they were far more conservative than our family is, and pushed too much of the school's politics down our daughter's throat. They are, however, academically solid. Seton and Kolbe both sell their books to non-enrolled families, which is a bonus, if you don't want to be in their program but want to get some of their materials.
With my boys, I have developed my own curriculum, using the Catechism and Bible in addition to good solid textbooks purchased at the local bookstore.

Seton Home School in Virginia- they are awesome! They allow you to plan your own curriculum or use theirs. Very affordable, easy to use and great support.
Everything is faith-based!

If your Catholic like me you could always talk to a priest. If he doesnt know he will find out for you.
