Since then I have written this article on Celebrating The Day Of The Dead As Catholics that I think takes a much better look at the … [Read more...]

Celebrating these feasts with Catholic kids is super fun, and I especially love telling the kids the REACH of that miracle!

I'm such a sucker for beautiful crosses and crucifixes. I actually like to collect them when we go on trips, or sometimes to make them myself. You get to a point where you have a crucifix in every room, and where in the world would you even put another cross? Well... I've come to discover that I far prefer to hang them all together rather than scattering them around. The result is a striking, eye … [Read more...]
