Equipping Catholic Families for February Saints Days!
This is our monthly summary of crafts and family traditions related to the Monthly Devotion, Key Feast Days, and the appropriate Season of the Liturgical Calendar. As our kids get older, our activities and commitment to Catholic crafts have changed and adjusted (at least for our last TEEN and young adult kids)! While we haven’t exactly been adding a lot of Catholic crafts around here, we do enjoy pulling out the crafts and programs we’ve developed over the years, sometimes sharing them with younger families in our parish!
The Monthly Devotion for February is
the Holy Family
This month, the official Devotion focuses on the Holy Family. What an awesome example of family life, St Joseph, Mother Mary, and Jesus offer us!

July 28, 2025 by Leave a Comment

Saints: Becoming an Image of Christ Every Day
of the Year
by Dawn Marie Beutner
Here’s my full REVIEW
I love this resource on the Saints! I have quite a few books about Catholic Saints, but this one is now my FAVORITE! There are SO many saints in this book…between two to six Saints, for every day of the year! The biographies are relatively short and succinct with all the most important facts about each Saint’s life and the virtues we can learn from them! Read More…
Key Feast Days in August:
- St Alphonsus Liguori (August 1)
- Our Lady of the Angels (August 2)
- St Lydia (August 3)
- St John Vianney (August 4)
- Our Lady of the Snows (August 5)
- Dedication of St Mary Major (August 5)
- Feast of the Transfiguration (August 6)
- St Dominic (August 8)
- St. Lawrence (August 10)
- St. Clare (August 11)
- St Jane Frances de Chantal (August 12)
- St. Maximilian Kolbe (August 14)
Check out this other book I just reviewed!
Maximilian Kolbe: The Saint of Auschwitz
by
Here’s my full REVIEW
This is an exciting way to introduce young people to the lives of the Saints! The life of St. Maximilian is inspiring in His love, devotion, mission and martyrdom. The form factor of the comic book/graphic novel is excellent for reluctant readers, but will inspire the young and old alike!

- St Bernard of Clairvaux (August 20)
- St Pius X (August 21)
