Merry Christmas from the McConkey family

We hope you’re having a Merry Christmas

and we wish you every grace and blessing for the New Year!

Interesting fact…in Canada, we have FEWER Holy Days of Obligation but we hold on pretty tightly to the ones we still have.

Next Monday is the Solemnity of Mary and although the precept to attend Mass is abrogated in the US, it remains a Holy Day of Obligation here in Canada…so we adapted our handy Mass graphic from this past weekend…to reflect next weekend’s Masses for the Feast of the Holy Family and the Solemnity of Mary.

Review: The Mass Box

August 6, 2017 by Monica McConkey Leave a Comment

So, I happily received the June edition of The Mass Box in exchange for my honest review back in JUNE…and I sheepishly admit that it has taken me until the last day of July to crack out the crafts in this action-packed box.

#HPparty : Our 11year-old’s Hogwarts Orientation Party plus FREE Printable

June 16, 2017 by Monica McConkey 4 Comments

Here at Equipping Catholic Families, we usually post about Catholic crafts, activities and traditions to help celebrate the Catholic Faith at home. As a family, we also happen to be avid Harry Potter fans….and epic backyard birthday party planners. This post shows how we combined the two (and made a 36-page FREE printable in the process). I know that some of my subscribers may not be big Harry Potter fans and I’m just hoping that you’ll consider reading this really great article by Kendra at Catholic All Year before you post an angry or concerned comment about the dangers of Harry Potter.

Kitchen Table Felt Castle

January 17, 2013 by Monica McConkey 22 Comments

I’ve seen so many cool DIY forts made to fit the kitchen table that I just had to make one for my own kids. This is a project I actually tackled a couple years ago, but my kids still play with it. We’ve also been able to breathe new life into it, by adding IKEA felt tools…
