Catholic Crafts and More for Kids
With Trinity Sunday right around the corner, I thought it would be a good time to round up these Trinity resources! Of course, I'd say the most famous reference to the Trinity is St. Patrick with his shamrock, but I just can't seem to get in the shamrock mood in the Summer time. It's just a March kinda thing for me. So... I'm going to keep this post St. Patrick and shamrock free. You can find … [Read more...]

All the Easter crafts, snacks, games, books, etc. couldn't possibly all happen on actual Easter Sunday- it's too much! But that’s ok because the Church, in her infinite wisdom, granted an entire season of Easter that lasts for 50 days, all the way through Pentecost! The secular (cultural) world tends to celebrate Easter during Lent up until Easter Sunday, and then packs up all the … [Read more...]

In continuing with our series Passing on the Catholic Faith to Your Kids, I wanted to touch on setting up a home altar. When I first heard the term home altar, I felt a little scared. I didn't know what I was doing, and the idea of setting up an official "altar" felt out-of-my-league. Sometimes home altars are also referred to as family altars, prayer tables, or altar tables. Don't let these names … [Read more...]
