Celebrating Catholic Family and Faith with crafts, Catechesis and traditions!
I wanted to make some Stations of the Cross Votive Candles with our new Stations of the Cross (with the Kelly Saints) Craft Kit. I actually added two new templates to the kit*.
*If you have purchased the original Stations of the Cross Craft before February 13, please check your inbox for a link to the Upgrade Kit!
As mentioned earlier, I’ve been laminating Cathletics Craft Kits with this cool Scotch Thermal Laminator 2 Roller System (TL901)*. The laminated templates are bright, durable and SHINY…and perfect for displays of our craft kits at Catholic conferences, and for Adam-ready use in our house year after year!
December 9th is the Feast Day of St Juan Diego. With the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe on Friday…we will be able to use some of the same decorations (and mexican food!) again…very soon!
Last year was the year of the Jesse Tree for our family!
We made a Handprint Family Tree Banner just for the Jesse Tree ornaments, but this banner can also be used during some of the other seasons of the Liturgical Calendar!
After my recent trip to Rome…I’m even more inspired by the Saints! All of them!
With the Feast of All Saints coming up…I thought I’d offer a sitemap of Saints activities and craft kits, along with All Saints resources I have collected online.
Go to Mass today!
Draw attention to the 5th Glorious Mystery of the Rosary: the Queenship of Mary, as you say your family Rosary.
Do you have the Revolving Rosary or the Spiritual Bouquet of Prayer Petal Flowers Cathletics Craft Kits? These paper crafts keep little hands busy while saying the Rosary, one decade at a time. There’s a Back to School Catholic Craft Kit Special going on right now…

This craft was showcased in A Treasure Chest of Traditions for Catholic Families, but I compiled this video to show how it’s assembled! It’s only about a minute!
With all this talk about the Trinity, I still think a braid is a great way to show the concept of the three Persons in one God.
The Trinity Sunday crafts in A Treasure Chest of Traditions for Catholic Families include a Braid pin and a Braid bracelet, but with the summer upon us, I’ve been looking for a cool leather anklet. Trinity Sunday gave me the boost I needed to go ahead and make my own!
In honor of St Anthony’s Feast Day on Friday, I was thinking about re-presenting the St Anthony Box craft from A Treasure Chest of Traditions for Catholic Families.
The idea behind this craft is to honor St Anthony as the patron of lost items. Many people say a quick prayer to St Anthony, asking for his help to find something that is lost. When the object is found, a Hail Mary is said for the souls in Purgatory and a donation is often made in St Anthony’s name, to the poor.
