Celebrating Catholic Family and Faith with crafts, Catechesis and traditions!
Welcome to Feast Day Fun: St Clare of Assisi!
St Clare was born in Assisi and consecrated herself to Jesus at an early age. She met St Francis and was inspired by him and started the order of nuns called the Poor Clares. She defended the convent from soldiers by holding up the monstrance and causing them to flee! When she became too ill to attend Mass, she miraculously saw Mass in her room. She is the patron saint of sore eyes and television!
“to da-vity and beyon’!”
Up here in Canada…we’re just hitting our LAST DAY of school for our elementary school kids! That’s right…both elementary and high schools finish near the end of June: not a moment too soon!

May 22 is the Feast Day of St. Rita. She is the patron saint of impossible causes and hopeless or desperate cases because of the difficulties she experienced in her life.
Although St Rita wished to be a nun, her marriage was arranged to a difficult and violent man. After 20 years, her husband repented before he died. Her two sons died shortly after that and St Rita focused on prayer, fasting, penance and good works. She entered the convent …and experienced the wounds of the crown of thorns.
Feast Day Fun: St Catherine of Siena (April 29) is part of our ongoing series: Feast Day Fun with quick saint facts, crafts, activities and traditions!

We just returned from the New Evangelization Summit in Ottawa with Dr. Scott Hahn, Fr. Michael Gaitley, Dr. Ralph Martin, Fr. James Mallon, Patrick Coffin and many others. This wonderful event was organized by the Mission of the Redeemer, founded by Michael Dopp. While the event took place in Ottawa, Ontario, the talks were broadcasted to 20 Satellite sites across North America!
This is our Seder Supper 2015!
Prepare enough place settings for each member of the family…plus the Prophet Elijah.
Light candles and say a prayer thanking God for loving us. Ask for the Holy Spirit to give us special understanding of the Passover Feast and of the Passion of Jesus.
