Celebrating Catholic Family and Faith with crafts, Catechesis and traditions!
It’s yet another new season of motherhood for me!
My eldest daughter Emily just got married a few days ago! My next daughter Kelly gets married next summer! My eldest son, Joseph is a brand-new engineering grad, my youngest daughter Bridget has just started University and the youngest of my five kids, Adam, just started high school!
As a mom of three young adults, my Mom-responsibilities are evolving as they face big decisions.
While it is a blessing when they want to talk about their concerns and choices, it is becoming increasingly clear that I can’t easily jump in and fix everything. I don’t have ready-to-go advice. I’m the kind of person who is more likely to think of the best answer, hours after mulling it over.
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!
We’ve just released a NEW Craft Kit for upcoming Lent! Lent starts on March 2nd this year! You can easily download and print this Lent Challenge Calendar (either letter-size or assembled to 11×17″ tabloid size) for daily Lent Challenge options for the WHOLE FAMILY!
There is no doubt that these are some unprecedented times! With church and business closings, cancellation of Holy Mass and the necessity of physical distancing, life has dramatically changed for most of us.
Sometimes we feel a little down when the official Christmas season is over. It’s hard to jump enthusiastically into Ordinary Time, because it sounds so, well, ordinary! But Catholic living can add so much richness to our every day 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! All of our Cathletics Craft Kits come with permission to copy for family use and they’re packed with Catechism, Saints, Sacraments and Prayer to get you started, but we’ve included other helpful links too!
It’s that time of year again, our second chance to start the new year (the Liturgical Calendar began with Advent in 2018).These are the big four resolutions that I’m compelled to commit to and I’ve included some resource, article and affiliate links that I’ve found helpful. This is not an exhaustive list! I might even edit and add to these lists throughout January…and I’m happy to check out your recommendations!
Up here in Canada, we still have a month left of school, but summer has already started for many across the US!
Summer is super fun and we’re definitely looking forward to some lazy mornings, relaxed schedules, Catholic crafts and fun in the sun!
It’s not too late! Sign up for a FREE Lent Program at Catholic Brain and discover a ton of resources for Catholic kids, all year long!
I was blown away by the comprehensive set of references, lessons, games, printables and videos at Catholic Brain.
So I found this audio mysteriously on my ipod. I vaguely remember Bridget recording Adam telling his version of The Passion.
This is totally unscripted. I’m just sad that he no longer calls palm branches “pom poms”.
