Celebrating Catholic Family and Faith with crafts, Catechesis and traditions!
Advent and Lent Quest Craft Kit:
Paper Chain Countdowns! THREE in ONE kit with Saint Bios, Catechism facts or Family Prayer Challenges. Laminate to use year after year…and really these can be used to count down to ANY Feast Day or Season, but they include some special ones just for Lent!
1. Stepping Stones through Jesus’ Life: Step through the key moments of Jesus’ Life as presented through Scripture.
2. Lenten Calendar: The Lenten version of the Advent Calendar, this banner or pocket-filled poster offers a Scriptural quote or reflection, virtue taught by Jesus or a moment from his life, represented through Bible verses, drawings or small props.
We don’t have a fresh Advent Wreath this year, but I managed to find the Advent candles I purchased after Christmas about 5 years ago!
Looks like a bit of a bleak crowd humoring Mom with the Advent reading and lighting the first candle…before they dive into homemade Schnitzel.
We’re combining Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday into our SUPER SAINT SATURDAY SALE…to help you celebrate the SAINTS as we close off this Liturgical Year in time for ADVENT on Sunday!
The Feast of Christ the King (one of my favorite Feast Days!) marks the last Sunday of the Liturgical Calendar…Advent starts NEXT WEEK! The Jubilee Year dedicated to the theme of Mercy begins shortly after that, on December 8th!
Last week, I released our new craft kit, the Adjustable Liturgical Calendar. It can be used year after year, and it comes with these awesome original-artwork Saint Stickies to customize the Liturgical Calendar.
I was honored to receive Jen’s new 85-page ebook Our Family’s Jesse Tree for review!
I have over the last few years participated in a Jesse Tree Ornament swap, received these awesome Jesse Tree Treasures and made my own Handprint Jesse Tree Banner (which can also be used throughout Christmas, Lent, Easter and Ordinary Time with other ornaments or Saint tokens!)
The 2015-2016 Liturgical Calendar starts fresh in 27 days!
Have you ever tried to teach the concept of the Liturgical Calendar or wished that you had an easy way see it in ONE glance?
I’ve always eyed those circular Liturgical Calendar posters (like this: Year of Grace 2016 Poster Calendar)
…and now with Kelly Saints Comics, I have created an Adjustable Liturgical Calendar for use year after year, with 72 unique and awesome Kelly Saints Stickies to tailor the calendar with each family’s patron saints!
Although I have on occasion put the Jesse Tree Treasures’ Holy Week Ornaments on our own Handprint Tree Felt Banner, our family hasn’t done The Jesus Tree…until THIS LENT!
Each ornament refers to a particular passage from the New Testament about Jesus’ Life. As we read through each assigned passage, we review the major events of Jesus’ Life and His Teaching. We prepare for the events of Holy Week and the Triduum, Ascension and Pentecost, proudly decorating this tree throughout the seasons of Lent and Easter!
Lent is upon us! Have you decided what you are going to add or give up for Lent this year?
If you are thinking about adding the Rosary to family prayer time this year (even ONE decade a day!) we’ve got a NEW Craft Kit for you!
