Equipping Catholic Families for February Saints Days!

This is our monthly summary of crafts and family traditions related to the Monthly Devotion, Key Feast Days, and the appropriate Season of the Liturgical Calendar. As our kids get older, our activities and commitment to Catholic crafts have changed and adjusted (at least for our last TEEN and young adult kids)! While we haven’t exactly been adding a lot of Catholic crafts around here, we do enjoy pulling out the crafts and programs we’ve developed over the years, sometimes sharing them with younger families in our parish!

no Black Friday, no Small-Business Saturday, no Cyber Monday deals

I’m a tiny Catholic business…not Amazon.

I want to create things that help you pray
and draw you closer to Jesus

…not pressure you to buy.

I’ve got seven Advent Printables in my shoppe at ArmaDei.com that I think will help you and your family pray and draw closer to Jesus this Advent.
