Celebrating Catholic Family and Faith with crafts, Catechesis and traditions!
A few months ago, I was the WINNER of this awesome book over at Contemplative Homeschool, thanks to Connie and Catholic Family Gifts.
The truth is that I was hoping to get my hands on Can You Find Saints? after seeing it at a few Catholic conferences. It’s a great book!
Mother Mary certainly sees our trials and challenges. She is the ultimate model of motherhood with her prayerful, gentle way to cope with life’s adventures. Perhaps if we pray more incessantly for her guidance and her intercession, we can better follow her example bringing more peace and Faith into our homes.
August is a special month for Mary, with the Feast of the Assumption on August 15th and the Queenship of Mary on August 22.
We have a special little Mary garden in our backyard and Adam still insists on visiting the statue of Mary and giving her a hug…almost every day!
Attention Catechists and Homeschoolers!
We have organized this guide to help you supplement your Catholic Curriculum with fun Catholic crafts! We like to find activities and crafts that kids like to do anyway…and sneak in Catholic Catechism!
I’ve got great helpers at our Arma Dei: Equipping Catholic Families booth at the Catholic Marketing Network Trade Show!

Should we Cement-In all Crying Rooms?
There have been times when I have banished myself to the crying room. Particularly with a tiny infant when my breast-feeding attempts were pretty awkward…and about as discrete as Adam eating chocolate cake. I was just grateful to catch a few words while attracting as little attention as possible.
I had a ‘lightbulb’ during prayer-time the other day.
Feels like the Holy Spirit!
Check out what I learned over at my other blog I Blog Jesus!
Although we try to primarily offer Catholic activities and crafts here at Equipping Catholic Families, we also like to share other creative projects that have become part of our family culture. Just like our Minute To Win It Birthday Party Post (also with FREE printable), we tend to have very cool birthday parties at home. Although the birthday party programs seem to relax a bit as the kids get older, we have some great memories … and we will likely repeat a couple of the favorite themed parties for Bridget and Adam.
