Extraordinary Ideas for Summer Time Ordinary Time

June 30, 2014 by Monica McConkey Leave a Comment

The last couple weeks have been a BLUR! With Pentecost, Trinity Sunday (Father’s Day), Corpus Christi, Sacred Heart of Jesus, Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Solemnity of St Peter and St Paul…we’re finally ready to sink into the SUMMER weeks of Ordinary Time! But…Ordinary Time need not be ORDINARY!

Ordinary Time is intended to remind us that Jesus is with us throughout all of our daily trials and triumphs. We should be striving to reflect Jesus’ Teaching with our actions every day.

I like to think of Ordinary Time as a time to focus on Faith and family…brushing up on Catechism, building our repertoire of prayers, delving into Scripture and forming habits that can carry us through all the Seasons! We’ve got some Cathletics Craft Kits for that!

Summer Saints Project Special! Save $15!

Drastic times. A family of squirrels is attempting a house-takeover…in the midst of graduations, birthdays and exactly 13 house/appliance malfunctions.

I’m distracting myself by putting together a Summer Saint Project Craft Kit Sale (aka Squirrel Relocation Fundraiser)…targeted at our FIVE new Cathletics Craft Kits featuring 15 year old Kelly’s awesome Kelly Saints Illustrations.

7 Awesome Feast Days in June

Ascension

So, officially, Ascension Thursday was May 29, but up here in Canada we celebrated it on Sunday June 1st, so I’m including it in my list of June Feasts! My special craft for the Feast of the Ascension really didn’t work too well, but I will probably try bubble painting again when I figure out the right mix. I think the Egg Carton Jesus cheers up the craft…you can still see my Ascension Craft Fail and if you know what I did wrong, please tell me in the comments!

Holy Spirit Spin Wheel for Pentecost!

June 6, 2014 by Monica McConkey 2 Comments

We made a new craft for Pentecost

…and we’ve updated it for 2017!

I like the design of this Spin Wheel because it reminds me of the Stained Glass of the Holy Spirit at St Peter’s in Rome!

Ascension Craft Fail

June 4, 2014 by Monica McConkey Leave a Comment

If you follow Equipping Catholic Families, you will have noticed that I’m a little overwhelmed right now with end of school year events and celebrations.

That’s right…up here in Canada, school ends June 26th, so our kids are still trudging off to school, completing a bunch of projects the teachers have lumped together at the end…and preparing for Emily’s big exodus from high school. From 50th birthday party to First Communion, stacking cups competition and awards nights, Music Concert, Arts Night and Dance Recital, keeping tabs on independent study projects (see Joe’s Handmade Wooden Weapons), university acceptance…THEN prom this Friday, Joe’s track meet, a 90th birthday party, IHM National Conference prep and travel… and THEN on to exams and graduation.

Prayer-Loom Prayer Book for treasured First Communion gift from the whole family!

I enjoy making meaningful, homemade gifts…especially when I think they will help immerse kids deeper in the Catholic Faith. As Catholics, we have a rich Tradition to pass along with many classic Catholic prayers…and awesome Saints to inspire and guide us.
