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!
The Monthly Devotion for February is
the Holy Family
This month, the official Devotion focuses on the Holy Family. What an awesome example of family life, St Joseph, Mother Mary, and Jesus offer us!
