You may have seen the Jesse Tree Treasures ornaments I wrote about during Advent…we even hosted a giveaway here at Equipping Catholic Families, and now I get to show off two sets of Lenten ornaments:
7 (+1!) Little Douglings
March 6, 2014 by Leave a Comment
When we submitted A Treasure Chest of Traditions for Catholic Families to a couple publishers, we were a little disappointed that the only publisher interested in working with us wanted to remove any talk about sin or Lent. Needless to say, that meeting launched us into a wonderful self-publishing adventure of Catholic conferences, Catholic Bookstore tours and old-fashioned cold-calling. Over the years we have added many products including our line of over 30 Cathletics Craft Kits and we have been excited to offer free Catholic crafts and traditions here at Equipping Catholic Families.
Review: Good Pope, Bad Pope
February 19, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Good pope, Bad Pope their lives, Our Lessons by Mike Aquilina
This is a neat little book showing the wisdom of the Church and the ultimate guidance of Christ, showing how He ‘kept his promise to his bride, the Church- not only in her health but also in her sickness. The great popes advanced our understanding of Christian doctrine. But even more remarkable, the worst popes could do nothing to damage the teaching of the Church. That’s why, even inits darkest moments, the story of the papacy is the story of triumph.”
Review: The Holy Land

The Holy Land An Armchair Pilgrimage by Fr Mitch Pacwa
This is a beautiful book, filled with pictures from the Holy Land, exquisite artwork and maps, along with Fr Pacwa’s commentary on each site. Relevant Scripture and prayers “focusing on a personal faith response to the spiritual events commemorated at each site turn the book into a private pilgrimage, enjoyed from the comfort of your home.”

Review: My First Book of Saints
October 27, 2013 by Leave a Comment
My First Book of Saints is a great little hardcover book profiling 62 saints in an easy-to-read format.
The full page illustrations are nice and colorful and the extra little text box on each biography summarizes where and when the saint lived and the Feast Day we have to celebrate the saint’s life, and is highlighted for easy reference.

Broken Statues and St Padre Pio
September 20, 2013 by 1 Comment
We are big fans of St Padre Pio. It started when my daughter Kelly picked up the little monk statue at a bookstore. She started reading books about him and he became one of our favorite family patron Saints. We even made a St Padre Pio Wooden Painted Saint.
Sacred Seasons Liturgical Calendar

I’m excited about this product because I really like Illuminated Ink’s coloring pages and the idea of an organization folder for the Liturgical Calendar.
Illuminated Ink’s Sacred Seasons Liturgical Calendar comes with blank calendar templates for each season along with Illuminated Ink‘s classic (but new, improved and expanded!) saint symbol stickers, informative Season explanations and awesome coloring pages.
