I’m finally getting the chance to reflect on our big road trip last week to the World Meeting of Families in Philadelphia. Arma Dei: Equipping Catholic Families was a vendor in the Expo Hall, sharing a booth with our awesome new friends, the Little Douglings!
Cross Stitch Saints: St Therese!
September 30, 2015 by 2 Comments
My friend Nancy at Do Small Things with Love has created 36 Catholic Saint Cross Stitch patterns and has invited a troop of crafty kids to make them…including my 9 year old Bridget!
In advance of our road trip to #worldmeetingoffamilies, I printed off the St Thérèse Cross Stitch pattern from Nancy’s site and made my own travel kit for Bridget to get started on, in the van.

We attended the World Meeting of Families with just two of our kids…but our #WorldMeetingofFamilies got cut short! The Secret Service closed the Vendor Hall down a DAY EARLY for the safety and security of Pope Francis!

Not sure if you heard! The Secret Service closed down the #WorldMeetingofFamilies Expo a DAY EARLY for the safety of Pope Francis! We’re happy to take a hit for the Holy Father, but we are hearing from sad #WMOF attendees who were planning to return to our booth on Friday to purchase our Catholic books, craft kits and quizzing cards!

Feast of St Padre Pio!
September 22, 2015 by 1 Comment
A year ago, I was in ROME on the Feast Day of St Padre Pio!
In addition to all the extraordinary things I saw and experienced on my pilgrimage, I did something I’ve never done before while travelling! I extended my trip for 3 extra days…and changed my return plane ticket on the fly! Those three extra days enabled me to join Mike and Sue and Katherine of St Gemma’s Catholic Pilgrimages (www.takeapilgrimage.com) and take an extra pilgrimage to San Rotundo to see St Padre Pio!

Feast Day Fun: Triumph of the Cross
September 13, 2015 by Leave a Comment
When Jesus’ Body was removed, the Cross was hidden so that followers would not find it. About 300 years later the True Cross was found! Constantine the Great had a vision of the Cross which led him to victory. In response, Constantine had the image of the Cross placed on the shields of his soldiers. Although stolen in 614 by the King of Persia, the Cross was restored in its proper place in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in 629.
