Celebrating Catholic Family and Faith with crafts, Catechesis and traditions!
Does your family’s enthusiasm for the Advent Wreath candlelighting and prayers ever wane as Christmas approaches?

The Advent Wreath is a treasured tradition, but we haven’t always stuck with it for all four Sundays, let alone each day of Advent!
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.
These are both EXCELLENT books about St. Joseph!
Looking for crafts to do at home, with what you have on hand?
We sifted through our archives and these are the simplest crafts we found. Many of the crafts are totally appropriate for LENT and the others are just in case you have any kids obsessed with Medieval Times.
Maybe your Nativities have been assembled around your house since the start of Advent and if you have little ones around, maybe it has been a challenge to keep precious Nativity figures (especially Baby Jesus) in their rightful Nativity place.
We’ve got some crafts to help your family pray the Stations of the Cross at home!
Over the years, we have collected and created Catholic Crafts to help pray the Stations of the Cross with kids. With this Covid pandemic continuing on, a second Lent, Holy Week and Triduum at home is definitely a possibility. Here are some links for some Catholic Printables that are already researched and formatted. Most are easy assembly, just print (assemble sometimes) and pray!
We’ve got 150 Catholic Stamps in there…consecration, accountability, signature, saints, Rosary, Mass and prayer journal stamps for your prayer journal, calendar, fridge notes, sticky notes and snail mail!
Years ago, we sold 18 different themed Cathletics Key Cards and they were a big hit with Sacrament classes, homeschooling and Godchild gifts!
They were laminated cards, carefully assembled individually or in bulk. The spinning color flap reveals and covers the answers related to each category within the theme of the card.
Join us to celebrate May Saints and the Monthly Devotion dedicated to Our Blessed Mother Mary and the continued joyful season of Easter! Do you see something you like?
Here are the links for easy crafts and already-formatted Catholic Craft Kits for the Month of Mary. Some of these are free tutorials and the craft kits come with permission to copy for home use, year after year!

Since our Scrabble game went missing, I decided to make use of a bag of tiles I had on hand to make letter tiles for word games.
I realize…not everyone has a stash of crafting supplies, I’m open to suggestions for what others may have on hand that could be used for this project!
