Celebrating Catholic Family and Faith with crafts, Catechesis and traditions!
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.
We love the Mass! Here are a couple more resources to help us focus at Mass and prepare for the Sacrament of the Eucharist:
30 Coins Hidden
Tenebrae means “shadow” or “darkness.” The Liturgy of the Hours is chanted and with the completion of each reading, a candle is extinguished until the church is pitch black.
Spy Wednesday is traditionally the day we read how Mary anointed Jesus’ Feet with expensive oil and dried His Feet with her hair. Judas criticizes Mary’s efforts, mentioning that the price of the expensive oil would be better suited to help the poor. Judas looks for an opportunity to turn Jesus over to the chief priests and will receive 30 coins for his betrayal; approximately one tenth the expense of the anointing oil.

Just in time…the Catholic Mom Bundle for Lent 2026 is available now!
Now, with this being my 21st Catholic Mom Bundle I’m participating in, I always look forward to sharing some sneak peeks into the Bundle and while I’m always kind of excited about the collection of resources, this Lent’s Bundle has some amazing offerings from some NEW contributors! One of the printables is over 200 pages and it outlines the different charisms we can encourage in our kids…and how to do just that!

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!
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!
