Feast Day Fun: Catholic Crafts for February

January 25, 2021 by Monica McConkey Leave a Comment

Equipping Catholic Families for February Saints Days!

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 has changed and adjusted (at least for our tween, 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!

TS
The Calendar Saint Stickies Craft Kit has been around for a while and I’ve used it to embellish secular wall calendars and planners…and even add illustrations to some Catholic ones! There are 461 little illustrations of Saints….and Mysteries of the Rosary (that are Feast Days), plus little lists and logs for prayers and Sacraments!

Our Encounter with St. John Paul II!

October 22, 2020 by Monica McConkey Leave a Comment

Happy Feast Day of St. John Paul II!

Twenty years ago, a Mom of two young kids, I began collecting ideas for crafts and activities to celebrate and teach the Catholic Faith at home. Tapping into the Liturgical Calendar of our Church, what I thought would be just a little booklet for my Catholic Mom friends, turned into a 300 page book. When we weren’t quite satisfied with our publisher options, we decided to embark on a brand new journey of self-publishing.
My business-prof-husband cold-called our growing directory of Catholic Book stores in North America and we carefully chose our family vacation routes by the Catholic Book Stores we could visit on the way.
