Guess Who?! the Saints! and
I appreciate the format of the 8″x10″ binder with the plastic sleeves holding 2×2 regular-sized trading or collector cards. They easily fit the range of holy cards that I have.
Welcome to the Year of Faith! I’m so excited to delve into activities and crafts that celebrate our Catholic Faith! With our Arma Dei products, we have always tried to take activities and crafts that kids love to do and infuse them with Catholic Catechism, prayers, Sacrament preparation and traditions to entice the kids to learn about the Faith while having fun!
I’m linking up to the OCTOBER CeleLINKY with the SAINTS link-up to add my Saint-centered crafts and activities…and maybe pick up a couple new ideas, how about you?!
are available for
I think that October may be my favorite month for Saints…with St Therese, Bl John Paul, St Faustina, St Francis, St Gerard, St Jude! What a powerhouse of HOLINESS!
Send Me Your Guardian Angel is an awesome book that will change your impression of your Guardian Angel….and perhaps escalate your demands and expectations for your angelic friend.
Consider…
Padre Pio’s Guardian Angel was a companion to him from the time he was a small boy.
Padre Pio’s Guardian Angel was a friend; one who teased and was teased by Padre Pio but also provided counsel when needed.
Padre Pio’s Guardian Angel was a consoler, sometimes travelling great distances to help troubled souls at their request or Padre Pio’s.
Padre Pio’s Guardian Angel was a messenger, delivering messages to his “spiritual children” who received guidance and direction from Padre Pio.
Padre Pio’s Guardian Angel was a translator of letters and confessions (and absolution), when language would otherwise be a barrier.
Padre Pio’s Guardian Angel was a reliable alarm clock, awakening Padre Pio’s helper from deep sleep when Padre Pio was in need of assistance.
Happy St Thérèse Feast Day!
St Thérèse is such a beloved saint for her child-like Faith and for doing small things with great love. She was known to carry a string of beads to keep track of her continuous prayers, sacrifices and good deeds. We have been making these little Good Deed Beads for years through Arma Dei: Equipping Catholic Families. We currently have them available by special order only* Sometimes we need a little extra time to fill orders…we’ve even been known to enlist some of our kids to help us compile the kits! *email for special order The neat thing about these strings of beads is that the beads slide and stay in place. You will find an excellent tutorial at Little Ways to make the Good Deed Beads or Sacrifice Beads.
Our original kits offered the supplies to create one string of Good Deed Beads on a keychain, and eventually we found little plastic crosses to make additional colorful sets.
Arma Dei: Equipping Catholic Families
There are so many posts out there about decorating a plate with a sharpie, that I thought that I would give it a try…and convert it to Catholic!
I have a little plastic plate for the kids that says “it’s my special day” and it’s amazing how it still appeals to the kids, even though it has definitely lost that new plate shine! I have decided that we need to make a bigger deal about our Patron Saint Feast Days, but life happens and I don’t always manage to cook up something special! I thought it could be handy to have a special Saint Plate for those special Feast Days. I deliberately made my Saint illustration a little ambigous, so that it can hopefully pass for any of our favorite saints! I created a Saint Plate Template and tried to use carbon paper to transfer the drawing. That didn’t work at all! (Does anyone know how to transfer a drawing to porcelain or china?)You can download the Saint Plate Template as part of One Page Printables Craft Kit
