Celebrating Catholic Family and Faith with crafts, Catechesis and traditions!
It’s that time of year again!
Do you know someone preparing to make their First Reconciliation?
The Sacrament of Reconciliation is incredible!! Where else can we hand over our burdens and struggles and receive complete ABSOLUTION; the very MERCY of JESUS poured over our bruised and battered little souls? It really is a wonderful gift, but prep for this monumental event where this little child confesses their sins to a priest for the very first time…can be a little daunting!
Attention Catechists and Homeschoolers!
We have organized this guide to help you supplement your Catholic Curriculum with fun Catholic crafts! We like to find activities and crafts that kids like to do anyway…and sneak in Catholic Catechism!
Sacraments are wonderful occasions that we hope to have a lasting impact on our day to day life, prayer life and family culture!
Part of the day inevitably involves gift-giving to help to mark the special day. I have spoken with many parents and Godparents and Confirmation sponsors who have on occasion been at a loss for a unique gift to give to a child. Looking for something to help the child remember their First Sacrament and grow in their Catholic Faith…can be difficult and many resort to secular gifts or cash because they are not sure what to buy and even more uncertain where to find it.
One of my favorite things about attending the National Catholic Education Association conference each year is to discover new Catholic products. Sometimes, some of these cool publishers and awesome Catholic businesses give me a certain product that catches my eye, in exchange for my honest review on my blog.
We created the Hand in hand with Jesus Faith Journal, packed with prayerful reflection prompts about their experiences of the Sacraments and their maturing prayer life, along with questions about the Sacraments based on the Catechism of the Catholic Church. This hard cover book is packed with illustrations to color and prayerful reflections, making it a wonderful keepsake of the child’s journey of Faith….and an awesome Sacrament gift to treasure for years to come… for your children, grandchildren, Godchildren and friends!
Sacraments: another reason to celebrate every Season!

These can help decorate dessert or the table…or be used as a fun Sacrament matching game. Customize your Sacrament Cake Toppers, by recording the actual dates of First Sacraments…in your family!

Over the next few weeks, I plan to highlight a few ideas to celebrate the First Sacraments, giving them the significance and hoopla that they deserve. I’m hoping to offer ideas to help integrate the regular reception of the Sacraments into family life… with reverence and enthusiasm!
