If you can't tell we were pretty excited here to be celebrating the Feast Day of Blessed Miguel Pro. We are still excited to be celebrating this merry priest, but it has been a day of good intentions and little else!
From there we made the decision to drop by the place that we were told has a relic of Padre Miguel Pro's. We had tried to call ahead, but to no avail- we figured no harm in stopping by. The receptionist had no idea what were talking about and did not want to look in to the matter. We did see this lovely shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes (which was fitting as Padre Miguel Pro did visit Lourdes).
We arrived home to a message from a priest at the center where the relic is- yes, it is there. Arrangements can be made for us to shown in to the chapel where it is hanging with a picture of Blessed Miguel. We will go another day. :)
Finally, we made our lovely "Mexican" hot chocolate and had sort of a "Miguel Pro quiz" while we sipped our drinks. The boys said that the hot chocolate was Yummy!! :)

wow, you're really celebrating. how wonderful. Love how you've displayed all your crafts and activities. Viva Cristo Rey.
Oh the best laid plans! Still sounds like a fun adventure =) I love the table! Maybe your kiddos could do a show & tell with us on all they did.

This post was just one of the sweetest Bl. Miguel Pro ones I've seen. Your celebrating of his feast day really has been a week-long celebration, hasn't it? : )
I'm glad that y'all have been enjoying the activity book. When I wrote/drew/cobbled it together, I had this picture in my mind of what I wanted it to be for others. I kept thinking that I really wanted to create something that kids would enjoy ... and would also learn about Bl. Miguel. Seeing the photos that you've been posting lately ... Well, y'all just warm the heart.
Many blessings to you.
And a happy Thanksgiving.
Viva Cristo Rey!
