The New Catechism Catcher

June 16, 2012 by Leave a Comment
You can purchase the Catechism Catcher at the Arma Dei Shoppe!  This is a paper craft kit, with permission to photocopy for your household or classroom and it has GROWN! It now includes TEN different templates, offering a quizzing tool for 10 different collections of catechism and Bible categories. Here’s a sneak peak at one of the new Cathletics Catcher templates, just to give you an idea of what the templates look like.  Sorry! I’m not publishing pictures of the other designs…I’m keeping them as a surprise!  Trust me…I think you’ll like the innovative designs of many of the 10 templates…like the Mysteries of the Rosary (fitting in all 20, with a proper quizzing format, descriptions and virtues!) and special graphics related to each category. These were fun to design and will be even more fun to use!

This is our Journey with Jesus through Reconciliation and Holy Communion Craft Kit.
It includes 18 already researched, illustrated and formatted templates of prompting catechism and reflection questions.  As all our Cathletics Craft Kits, it comes with permission to photocopy for a whole class for one term or for all the kids in your family (who live with you) as they celebrate their First Sacraments!

There are suggestions for making your own scrapbook or using a store-bought scrapbook.  There are also instructions to create an Accordian Book.   In either case, there are plenty of catechism based questions, adorable cartoons drawn by 12 year old Kelly and prompting reflections about your child’s experience of the Sacraments, their prayerlife and their growing relationship with Jesus!

Work on a page a day, recording and reflecting about Baptism, the Rosary, the Divine Mercy Chaplet, Reconciliation, the Commandments, Sin, Holy Communion, the Mass, the Domestic Church, Qualities in my Family and Friends, all about Jesus, Mary and the Saints and reflections about Jesus and me and my prayerlife.

Captivated by the New Mass?

January 15, 2012 by 2 Comments

So it’s the 7th Sunday with the New Mass!  I’m learning that it’s definitely a PROCESS!  Those responses that we have been saying for years and years are hard to shake!

With the release of the 3rd Edition of the Roman Missal, our family apostolate Arma Dei released a revised Craft Kit called Color Me Catholic.  A few of my favorite Catholic bloggers agreed to review my new Craft Kit, assembling and coloring the 10 booklets with their kids and trying them out as they jump into the New Mass.  I know that I did not do justice to the posts of these gracious ladies and their helpful reviews and pictures, when the reviews were posted during the Advent and Christmas seasons!
So, changing up the Link of LightBulbs a little…here are
Links of Reviews for Color Me Catholic:

(1) Laura explains a little about the 10 booklet templates within the Color Me Catholic Craft Kit on her blog Day by Day in Our World:  Unlike lapbooking, these mini-booklets are meant to be read like a book.  There are 10 mini-booklets in all that cover treasured Vessels, Vestments & Symbols, Church Furnishings, Parts of the Mass and Sacraments & Sacramentals plus 8 pages of phrases from the New Roman Missal Mass in sequential order. Check out Laura’s review of Color Me Catholic!
