I love CatholicIcing! I’m so glad I came across it, quite accidentally! I was wondering about the adorable little circular cut outs at the top of the Saints Directory page- are those little saint cards? I’d love to find out more about them, and I’m interested in getting some for myself:) Too cute!
Google “Happy Saints”. That’s the guy who makes them. 🙂
Did you buy those or print them yourself? I am looking for prayer cards, pictures, coloring or activity sheets, etc for St Augustine, St Dominic Savio, St Clare of Assisi, St Mary Magdalene, and St John. I am needing 75 or so of each though, so trying to find a place I can either purchase the printable or something to print myself. Those are so cute!
I printed them myself from happysaints.com. Aren’t they adorable? I love Happy Saints!
It looks like the links for the costumes don’t connect. I would love to see your ideas!
Thanks!
Hi Lacy! I was wondering if you could post some activities or info on St. Vincent de Paul? Been looking around but can’t seem to find any kid oriented info on him in other websites. 🙂
We’ll see! Hopefully someday I will get to all the Saints. 😉
Hi-I love your website. I was looking for an idea for food/snack and a craft for the feast day of the lady of la leche, but I dont think you have her listed??
I don’t have anything for that… yet. haha! The Catholic church is so rich with tradition and feasts, I will never run out of things to post about. 😉
Hi Lacy~
Thank you for all your wonderful and creative ideas. Last year for All Saint’s you mentioned how you liked someone’s idea for the Infant Child of Prague. For the life of me I can’t track it down(Oh, St. Anthony help me;) It was such a great idea and we have a boy that age this year. Any ideas where to find it? Hope you and your family are doing well. In Christ~ Linda
You Should add Saint Philomena to your list 🙂
