Feast Day Fun: Triumph of the Cross
September 13, 2015 by Leave a Comment
When Jesus’ Body was removed, the Cross was hidden so that followers would not find it. About 300 years later the True Cross was found! Constantine the Great had a vision of the Cross which led him to victory. In response, Constantine had the image of the Cross placed on the shields of his soldiers. Although stolen in 614 by the King of Persia, the Cross was restored in its proper place in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in 629.

Over at Equipping Catholic Families, we have created a number of Catholic Printables to make your family patron saint days memorable! All of our craft kits come with permission to copy and we’ve found that laminating the printed templates make them last year after year.

Happy Birthday Mother Mary!
There are a lot of ways to celebrate Mother Mary’s birth; the most obvious is probably a birthday cake! In A Treasure Chest of Traditions for Catholic Families we recommend an All-White Dinner reminding us that Mary was born without sin! I collected a bunch of pins on Pinterest, searching Birth of Mary, birthday cakes and white food… At Equipping Catholic Families, we have created a number of dolls and figures for Mother Mary. Check out: Egg Carton Mary and Mary TY Doll and our Wooden Painted Saint: Mother Mary! Check out our Wooden Painted Saint Tutorial An Alphabet of Mary is a sweet book with little poems, explanations and illustrations of the titles and qualities of Mother Mary.

Feast Day Fun: Blessed Teresa of Calcutta
September 5, 2015 by 1 Comment
Welcome to Feast Day Fun: Blessed Teresa of Calcutta!
Blessed Teresa is known for her virtue of compassion and for being the “icon of the Good Samaritan”, caring for the sick and the poor in India. She models for us the Scriptural Works of Mercy…meeting both the Corporal and Spiritual needs of each person she encountered.
