Celebrating Catholic Family and Faith with crafts, Catechesis and traditions!
It’s December 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’ve been seeing beautiful wooden advent wreaths and I decided to try making one, using what I could find from the dollar store! I already had the 6″ masonite wreath base from an earlier trip to the dollar store.
I know I have seen little wooden leaf cutouts, but this time of year, my trusty dollar store had none. I switched gears to use little wooden hearts and flowers and this is what I came up with.
November 26th is the Solemnity of Christ the King and November 17th is nine days before it so that makes TODAY the first day of the Christ the King Novena!
We made a special craft kit for that!
This Divine Mercy Prayer Counter Abacus includes the 9 intentions and relatively short daily prayers leading up to this great Solemnity!

Katherine Bogner is the Catholic Teacher I’d want to be…and the Teacher every kid in Catholic School would love. I am so excited about Katherine’s book All About Advent and Christmas: Sharing the Seasons of Hope & Wonder With Children, illustrated and designed by Shari Van Vranken.
Advent will start on December 3rd and Christmas Eve is the 4th Sunday of Advent, so the season of Advent is as short as it can be!

With Advent approaching, it’s time to introduce the Advent Catholic Mom Bundle, packed with print-and-go resources to make it easy to live liturgically this year!
…because the first Sunday of Advent falls between November 27th-December 3rd, the official Advent Calendar can look different every year (for 7 years!)
This year, Advent begins on December 3rd, so it’s the shortest Advent possible. The last Sunday of Advent is also Christmas Eve!
I’m aware that some people manage to finish their Christmas Shopping before Advent even starts! I’m in awe.
This year, much as every other year, I’ll probably be racing to the last minute to purchase and wrap all our gifts for our family and friends. How about purchasing some gifts that help spark and build our Catholic Faith? With the following Catholic Gift Guides, you can even support Small Catholic Businesses, while you’re at it.
Welcome to our monthly summary of crafts and family traditions related to the Monthly Devotion, Key Feast Days, and the appropriate Season of the Liturgical Calendar.
We’ve got the NEW 2023-2024 Wall Calendar for Every Day Catholics and it actually started September 1st, so it has all of upcoming Advent, plus all of 2024, illustrated with our unique Super Saints for Feast Days and Monthly Devotions plus a couple bonus templates for Catholic lists and logs! Each month has illustrated Saints Days, Solemnities and Monthly Devotions, fasting Fridays and classic monthly prayers!
We’ve got a NEW Craft Kit for that!
Whether it’s been a while and you’re wondering if you remember what to say in the confessional…or if you just went to reconciliation last week but suspect you need to go again, for the exact same sins, we’ve got a new Catholic printable to help you return to this most precious Sacrament!
