New Saint Sacrament & Season Stamps

So, I’ve been adding a whole lot of Catholic Stamps over the last few years to my Prayer Impressions Journal Stamp Shoppe and I just counted them today.

I have 145 Saint, Journal, Consecration, Prayer…and now Sacrament and Season Stamps!

Equipping Catholic Families …to Pray

Equipping Catholic Families is very much a family apostolate and as our five kids one by one step into the teenage and young adult years, our family ministry seems to be maturing as well.
