Celebrating Catholic Family and Faith with crafts, Catechesis and traditions!
We’ve got a SNOW DAY up here in Canada, so I thought it might be a good opportunity to sneak in some last minute crafts for the
but check this out if you’d like some other Snow Day crafts!
These are the Felt Friends we made a few years ago and we even have a craft kit tutorial to help you make your own! They are cute and bendy…made with a pipe cleaner skeleton and felt! Here is the Felt Friends Craft Kit! (It’s FREE for subscribers…if you use the code)
Advent and Lent Quest Craft Kit:
Paper Chain Countdowns! THREE in ONE kit with Saint Bios, Catechism facts or Family Prayer Challenges. Laminate to use year after year…and really these can be used to count down to ANY Feast Day or Season, but they include some special ones just for Lent!
1. Stepping Stones through Jesus’ Life: Step through the key moments of Jesus’ Life as presented through Scripture.
2. Lenten Calendar: The Lenten version of the Advent Calendar, this banner or pocket-filled poster offers a Scriptural quote or reflection, virtue taught by Jesus or a moment from his life, represented through Bible verses, drawings or small props.
This is one of my favorite Feast Days of the whole Liturgical Calendar!
I’ve made a number of Holy Family/ Nativity sets over the years. This was a gift for Bill, the Christmas before we were married. The figures were loosely based on patterns I found in a magazine…and the clothing and the stable were architected improvised with limited sewing skills.

=&0=&Welcome to Feast Day Fun: St Clare of Assisi!
St Clare was born in Assisi and consecrated herself to Jesus at an early age. She met St Francis and was inspired by him and started the order of nuns called the Poor Clares. She defended the convent from soldiers by holding up the monstrance and causing them to flee! When she became too ill to attend Mass, she miraculously saw Mass in her room. She is the patron saint of sore eyes and television!

June 29 is the Feast Day of St. Peter and St Paul.
Peter and Paul are two very important characters from the Early Church.
Peter was the most frequently mentioned member of the original 12 Apostles, who traveled with Jesus throughout His Public Ministry and could testify to the Resurrection. Jesus foretold that this apostle would be the rock upon which the Church would be built. Despite Peter’s betrayal of Jesus after His Arrest, St Peter led the Apostles, became the first pope and was martyred for his faith.
