Do you know anyone making their First Sacraments: First Reconciliation or First Holy Communion?
Here at Equipping Catholic Families, we have developed a series of Sacrament Craft Kits that have been very popular for Sacrament preparation, crafts and keepsakes!
Welcome to our monthly summary of crafts and family traditions related to the Monthly Devotion, Key Feast Days and the appropriate Season of the Liturgical Calendar.
We love the Mass! Here are a couple more resources to help us focus at Mass and prepare for the Sacrament of the Eucharist:
I have often approached Holy Week as the big last chance, the final countdown, the last surge to try and reflect better, pray better, enter into the Passion more perfectly.
But this Lent, I feel like the Lord has been calling me to dig deeper and more honestly.
30 Coins Hidden
Tenebrae means “shadow” or “darkness.” The Liturgy of the Hours is chanted and with the completion of each reading, a candle is extinguished until the church is pitch black.
Spy Wednesday is traditionally the day we read how Mary anointed Jesus’ Feet with expensive oil and dried His Feet with her hair. Judas criticizes Mary’s efforts, mentioning that the price of the expensive oil would be better suited to help the poor. Judas looks for an opportunity to turn Jesus over to the chief priests and will receive 30 coins for his betrayal; approximately one tenth the expense of the anointing oil.
Holy Week is here and instead of trying to squeeze in elaborate crafts or activities for each day of Holy Week, I’m looking at something SIMPLER, but perhaps more meaningful.
By drawing connections between the events of each day of Holy Week with the challenges of motherhood and family life, I think I can better focus my reflection and hopefully deepen my prayer!
I just discovered this book at The Pauline Bookstore, and I had to pick it up!
I love the style of illustration, and I know I’ve had the same conversation with my own daughter Kelly…
The truth is that EVERYONE up in Heaven is considered a SAINT…we only know for sure the ones by name who have been officially recognized as a Saint, but there are already SO many Saint Kellys up there!

Consecration to St. Joseph by Fr. Donald Calloway
My amazing Mom passed away on July 8, 2025. My Dad still lives in the same house I grew up in, and he’s adjusting to being a widower after 61 years married to my Mom.
He’s learning to cook, do laundry and all the things, and I’ve been going to his doctor’s appointments with him.
