Celebrating Catholic Family and Faith with crafts, Catechesis and traditions!
It will be December soon and Advent starts THIS SUNDAY!
Here is our monthly summary of crafts and family traditions related to the Monthly Devotion, Key Feast Days and the appropriate Season of the Liturgical Calendar: Advent!
We have used an Advent Wreath year after year, sometimes using the artificial wreath we have in storage, sometimes arranging a wreath from live boughs! Purple and pink candles can sometimes be hard to find! We have used votives, tissue-wrapped or painted (white) votive candles or the easiest solution: white candles with a purple or pink bow!

Sometimes it’s difficult to jump enthusiastically into Ordinary Time, because it sounds so, well, ordinary!
But Catholic living can add so much richness to our everyday life and celebrating our Faith and family culture can be an active pursuit all year long! Here are ten ideas to foster your own family culture…while integrating the richness of our Catholic Faith with Saints, Sacraments, Scripture, Catechism and Prayer!
Spring has SPRUNG and we’re already starting to look toward SUMMER!
I don’t know about you, but in the hectic pace of just everyday, Ordinary Time, with kids’ school and extra-curricular, health issues, family celebrations and events, I often feel guilty that my own prayer life is not so focused and our family prayer can meander away…
