Celebrating Catholic Family and Faith with crafts, Catechesis and traditions!
This is one of my favorite Feast Days of the whole Liturgical Calendar!
I’ve made a number of Holy Family/ Nativity sets over the years. This was a gift for Bill, the Christmas before we were married. The figures were loosely based on patterns I found in a magazine…and the clothing and the stable were architected improvised with limited sewing skills.
With Emily coming home on December 23rd…
our Christmas photos were pretty last minute!
…but that didn’t stop us from our customary Goofy Family Picture!
Merry Christmas from the McConkey family!
It’s not too late!
We’ve got lots of totally Catholic, Catechism, Saint and Sacrament PACKED Craft Kits that can be purchased and printed right away for unique
that will be treasured for years to come!
Just recently, we released the Kelly Saints Blessing Cards…a craft kit to print your own stash of All Catholic Occasion Greeting Cards! With the purchase of the kit, you have permission to copy, so you can print another collection of awesome Catholic cards, add invitation envelopes and put them in a dollar store gift box…and give them to your favorite Catholic penpal or serious greeting-card-sender. Great for Grandmas who love to send hand-written notes, but can’t readily hit Hallmark.
One of the cool features of our Cathletics Craft Kit Printables…is the fact that each kit includes permission to copy for family or classroom use!
Each one of our Cathletics Craft Kit Printables is packed with Catholic Catechism, Saints, Prayers and Sacraments…and illustrated with our own original Kelly SaintsTM artwork
Recently, I used the Cathedral Clipart Craft Kit to convert this wooden lunchbox from Michaels…into a Church for our little Painted Saints!

Just to prove that our craft kit is versatile…and after converting a Michaels wooden barn and a Goldfish Cracker Box to a Church, I picked up a couple other boxes from Michaels to make a few different styles of Church play sets for our Painted Saints.
Here’s our new Cathletics Craft Kit for Catholic families! These can be printed all at once to have your own stash of unique Catholic cards…for every awesome Catholic Occasion…and then some!
I’ve been shopping for hinged unfinished boxes for an even easier Painted Saint Church
…an easy box to find at the craft store… and easy to mod-podge the Cathedral clipart!
You might remember the barn-converted-to-Church.
Sometimes despite our best intentions, some of our Advent programs or devotionals start to wane in the second or third week. We get behind in our Jesse Tree Ornaments…or miss the Advent devotionals altogether as we rush through the hectic days before Christmas. We’re doing our best…
This is a busy week with serious Feasting for Catholics with a number of awesome Feast Days!
We launched this 2nd Week of Advent with the Feast of St Nicholas! I grew up with the tradition of a visiting St Nicholas AND the Krampus.
