Even though the Gospel Readings lately at Mass have already launched into Jesus’ Baptism as an adult and the beginning of His Public Ministry, this Sunday is the Feast of the Presentation of our Lord (or the Purification of Mary). This Feast celebrates the event (40 days after Jesus’ Birth), when He was presented in the Temple, following the Jewish custom.

why we started making Armor out of Egg Cartons
January 22, 2014 by 4 Comments
We started our little family apostolate with the release of A Treasure Chest of Traditions for Catholic Families in 2001. Fascinated with this Scriptural Passage, we named our publishing company Arma Dei, translated from latin as ‘Armor of God’:

I found my new favorite craft…making Egg Carton Saints! Pope Francis isn’t a saint yet…but we needed a Pope Francis in our house.
Reconciliation “Peek Sheets” Printable!
January 14, 2014 by Leave a Comment
It’s that time of year again!
Do you know someone preparing to make their First Reconciliation?
The Sacrament of Reconciliation is incredible!! Where else can we hand over our burdens and struggles and receive complete ABSOLUTION; the very MERCY of JESUS poured over our bruised and battered little souls? It really is a wonderful gift, but prep for this monumental event where this little child confesses their sins to a priest for the very first time…can be a little daunting!
Spiritual Bouquet Cathletics Craft Kit
January 12, 2014 by Leave a Comment
The Spiritual Bouquet of Prayer Petal Flowers has been one of our most popular crafts since we recommended it in our book
A Treasure Chest of Traditions for Catholic Families. It became one of our first 4 Cathletics Craft Kits…and now we have over 30 Cathletics Craft Kits available! We had already expanded the kit to accommodate all 20 Mysteries of the Rosary as well as the prayers of the Divine Mercy Chaplet. There are templates to make a pretty construction paper flower, plus clipart to make a meaningful gift card for both the Rosary and the Divine Mercy. All of the individual flower pieces have the actual Rosary or Divine Mercy prayers printed on them for easy reference. In 2012, we gave the Spiritual Bouquet craft kit a serious overhaul and easily doubled the number of templates and projects inside! We added a giant wall garland of the Rosary. Imagine all 20 Rosary decade flowers winding around the walls of a room! We also added 2 coloring pages for easy one-page, no-scissors-or-glue crafts for both the Rosary and the Divine Mercy.Spiritual Bouquet of Prayer Petal Flowers Cathletics Craft Kit Monica McConkey (Author)

Egg Carton Saints: Mother Mary

Yesterday, I posted about crafts you can make on a SNOW DAY and I was blown away by some Egg Carton People made over at Michele Made Me.
Today, I bought the TWO tutorials that Michele offers…and the only thing holding me back is I don’t have enough empty egg cartons!
