Key Feast Days in January:

New Year’s Resolutions and Liturgical Season: Ordinary Time!

Looking for ways to make your New Year’s Resolutions stick? Here are some articles and craft kits that will help you stay on track in your prayer life, living Liturgically…or staying more organized!

  • 2018 Website/Shop/Blog Planner will illustrated Saints Days on monthly calendars along with Stats and Records templates to keep track of stats, expenses and goals. You’ll wonder how you got along without it!
  • Convert your family calendar to be Catholic with the Calendar Saint Stickies Craft Kit
  • The Catholic Prayer Bullet Journal includes lists for projects and posts, a running log, a confession/spiritual direction log and lots of pages for tracking habits, gratitude, goals, prayer intentions, scripture to memorize, house projects, social media stats…and so much more!

Catholic Crafts for Lent and Holy Week

 

Super Cute Bible Tabs to get you flipping through the Bible from Catholic Icing. I turned a soft cover Catholic Bible into a Hardcover Bible and while I was at it, a Journaling Bible.

 

Easy as Abacus Stations of the Cross Just released last week! Kelly Saints Stations of the Cross on a wood frame Abacus, perfect for little fingers to keep track of the Stations!

 

Letters of Love: A Lenten Meditation for Families I’ve signed up and I think I’m ready! I’m hoping that the colorful post it notes, index cards, notepaper, notebook and pens will entice my whole family (including our 4 kids living at home ~from 6 years to 18 years) to reflect, write and draw as soon as we receive the prompts!

You can sign up too at Not So Formulaic. I’ll be posting our progress …and any special tips we come up with, after we begin on Ash Wednesday!

 

Easy as Abacus Rosary for hands-on Rosary praying with Kelly Saints illustrations and chalkboard prayer intentions!

 

Pray, Fast, Give Printable from Look to Him and Be Radiant This is a great, FREE printable to help you Pray, Fast and Give! Pick new do-able challenges each day and avoid the discouragement of Lenten Sacrifice burnout.

 

…and one more #CatholicCraft! Not a printable…but a FREE Tutorial!

Simple Good Deed Bead Bracelets that even the littlest hands can help make…with beads that slide and stay in place to count special sacrifices and prayers throughout each day! FREE Tutorial at Equipping Catholic Families.
