Celebrating Catholic Family and Faith with crafts, Catechesis and traditions!
Ascension
So, officially, Ascension Thursday was May 29, but up here in Canada we celebrated it on Sunday June 1st, so I’m including it in my list of June Feasts! My special craft for the Feast of the Ascension really didn’t work too well, but I will probably try bubble painting again when I figure out the right mix. I think the Egg Carton Jesus cheers up the craft…you can still see my Ascension Craft Fail and if you know what I did wrong, please tell me in the comments!
We made a new craft for Pentecost
…and we’ve updated it for 2017!
I like the design of this Spin Wheel because it reminds me of the Stained Glass of the Holy Spirit at St Peter’s in Rome!
If you follow Equipping Catholic Families, you will have noticed that I’m a little overwhelmed right now with end of school year events and celebrations.
That’s right…up here in Canada, school ends June 26th, so our kids are still trudging off to school, completing a bunch of projects the teachers have lumped together at the end…and preparing for Emily’s big exodus from high school. From 50th birthday party to First Communion, stacking cups competition and awards nights, Music Concert, Arts Night and Dance Recital, keeping tabs on independent study projects (see Joe’s Handmade Wooden Weapons), university acceptance…THEN prom this Friday, Joe’s track meet, a 90th birthday party, IHM National Conference prep and travel… and THEN on to exams and graduation.
I enjoy making meaningful, homemade gifts…especially when I think they will help immerse kids deeper in the Catholic Faith. As Catholics, we have a rich Tradition to pass along with many classic Catholic prayers…and awesome Saints to inspire and guide us.
I’m happy to be a contributor for the Catholic Family Resources Bundle, hosted by Upside Down Homeschooling!

We’re about HALF WAY through LENT! How are your Lenten resolutions and programs going? Are you doing any of the 40 Ways for 40 Days?
Some of our resolutions and Lenten practices have been difficult to sustain and I am reminded once again for the need to recommit and refocus…each of these 40 days of Lent! Looking ahead to Easter…I remember that
