All Saints Day Crafts and Decor!

Two of my favorite Feast Days are All Saints Day and the Feast of Christ the King! Both are coming up…with All Saints Day this Sunday and the Feast of Christ the King, 3 weeks after that!

I have offered Patron Saint Prints in the past…of any of the Saints within our Saint Scripts Craft Kit Collection.

Our Encounter with St. John Paul II!

October 22, 2020 by Monica McConkey Leave a Comment

Happy Feast Day of St. John Paul II!

Twenty years ago, a Mom of two young kids, I began collecting ideas for crafts and activities to celebrate and teach the Catholic Faith at home. Tapping into the Liturgical Calendar of our Church, what I thought would be just a little booklet for my Catholic Mom friends, turned into a 300 page book. When we weren’t quite satisfied with our publisher options, we decided to embark on a brand new journey of self-publishing.
My business-prof-husband cold-called our growing directory of Catholic Book stores in North America and we carefully chose our family vacation routes by the Catholic Book Stores we could visit on the way.
