Celebrating Catholic Family and Faith with crafts, Catechesis and traditions!
I usually release my Custom Planner Craft Kit in December for a January start, but I’ve been updating it and improving it and the 2017-2018 Planner is now ready for use in September!
With a couple websites including Equipping Catholic Families and my Arma Dei shoppe, I’ve got plenty of projects, products, posts and passwords to keep track of and I think I’ve customized my templates to keep all the information in one place!
Back to School! (Check out our Back to School Craft Kit Sale…ends Sept. 10th at 11:59pm)
We finally have Emily home from England and although she’s in 4th year at the University of Ottawa, she just started her 2nd CoOp Placement in downtown Toronto.
{August27} Feast Day Fun: St Monica!
St Monica is remembered as having a stressful life, between her ill-tempered husband and rebellious son! Through persistent prayer, sacrifice, patience and gentleness, St Monica’s husband converted before he died. Her rebellious son Augustine was also converted and became a bishop and saint and is recognized as a Doctor of the Church. With patience, gentleness and persistence, St Monica reminds us to pray for others, even when they are difficult to get along with …and resistant to changing their ways! She offers us hope in our prayer for those who stray from Jesus.
I’m so excited about this new project! I started my own Bullet Journal a few months ago and I love how it works. I have brainstorming lists for projects and posts, a running log, a confession/spiritual direction log and lots of pages for tracking habits, gratitude, goals, prayer intentions, scripture to memorize, house projects, social media stats…and so much more!
So, I happily received the June edition of The Mass Box in exchange for my honest review back in JUNE…and I sheepishly admit that it has taken me until the last day of July to crack out the crafts in this action-packed box.
We will be posting a monthly summary of crafts and family traditions each month related to the Monthly Devotion, Key Feast Days and the appropriate Season of the Liturgical Calendar. We hope to give you a little more notice next time…launching the summary post a week or two before the start of the month.
We’ve just added a couple ROSARY Journal Stamps to our Prayer Impressions Journal Stamp Shop!
After having recently re-committed to saying the daily Rosary (see 5 practical tips for the Reluctant Rosary prayer), I’ve been working on a few tools and tips that have helped me make it a lasting habit.
So… the Rosary is a remarkable prayer tool and devotion and I know many people who credit the Rosary for answered prayer and family blessings. Countless pope, saints and priests have encouraged us to say the Rosary, citing the Graces. Our Lady herself promises that her Immaculate Heart will indeed triumph, especially with increased dedication to this daily devotion. For years, I’ve heard the beautiful graces attached to daily recitation of the Rosary, especially said as a family.
Thanks to all those who participated in our How best can we equip YOUR Catholic Family? Survey.
We were surprised by the awesome response!
We are so pleased with the feedback and eager to steer this website to meet your needs for equipping Catholic families!
Summer has officially begun! We get a little bit of a late start up here in Canada but with school finished and just a few little week-long summer activities already started, we’re enjoying the sunny weather and the little-bit-lazy schedule!
