Celebrating Catholic Family and Faith with crafts, Catechesis and traditions!
We just recently built a shed in our backyard…from a Home Depot kit, but I’m kind of proud nonetheless with our newbie carpentry and roofing skills.
I guess the recent building experience has upped my confidence a bit, because I decided to try another wood-working project.
Welcome to our monthly summary of crafts and family traditions related to the Monthly Devotion, Key Feast Days and the appropriate Season of the Liturgical Calendar.
Just a reminder, the readings for Sunday Masses come from Year C and Cycle 1 for the Weekday Masses.
Last Sunday (a whole week before Advent begins!) we hosted a Sock Baby Jesus in a Clementine Crib Workshop and we had a lot of fun!
First, we collected the materials we would need and even made a new Sock Baby Jesus just to make sure that we weren’t forgetting anything. The kids co-operated by eating their way through 3 crates of Clementine oranges and our friend Michelle brought 3 additional crates as well!
St Gertrude the Great (1256-1302) was a Benedictine mystic and she is patroness of the West Indies. She was born in Germany and placed in a Benedictine convent at the age of five. She had a vision of Jesus at the age of twenty-six. She wrote a number of books and many prayers, spreading devotion of the Sacred Heart. She is also credited with this special prayer for the souls in Purgatory. Jesus, Himself told her that He would ease the suffering of 1000 souls, release them from purgatory and welcome them into Heaven, each time this prayer is prayed devoutly!
The Novena for Christ the King begins on Friday November 16th! We’ve got a craft for that!
Easy as Abacus Divine Mercy plus Christ the King Novena
November 25th is the Feast of Christ the King…the last Sunday of the Liturgical Year, which means that Advent will be here very soon! It’s time to dust off the Advent Candles (make sure we have them!) and the Jesse Tree ornaments and the Advent Calendar!
This year, there are even MORE workbooks, printables, and eBooks in the Catholic Mom Bundle
and purchased separately, these 20 Catholic Resources would cost $246.
I’ve sifted through all 20 resources and my favorite SIX resources in the Bundle that I know I could dive right into this Advent are:

Interesting fact…in Canada, we have FEWER Holy Days of Obligation but we hold on pretty tightly to the ones we still have.
Next Monday is the Solemnity of Mary and although the precept to attend Mass is abrogated in the US, it remains a Holy Day of Obligation here in Canada…so we adapted our handy Mass graphic from this past weekend…to reflect next weekend’s Masses for the Feast of the Holy Family and the Solemnity of Mary.
This 3rd Sunday of Advent is Bambinelli Sunday! Check out the Bambinelli we made a few years ago after reading this beautiful book about this old Catholic tradition: Feast Day Fun: Bambinelli Sunday
