For our reading, we used Advent, Christmas and Epiphany in the Domestic Church and "The Girl With a Mission: St. Catherine Laboure" (CHC Reading Comprehension Vol. 1) .
Our crafts came from some fantastic online resources.
This crafty candle idea came from My Little Flower.
We are making an Our Lady of Guadalupe candle just like hers. :)
Mark tried his medal on for size, but we decided to hang them in the kitchen window.
Our feast day table:
That awesome coloring page in the center is from Catholic Icing.
I have to admit that my boys, even being the good sports that they usually are, sort of balked when they saw the coloring page. We talked about the meaning of the picture- which they thought was pretty cool- and agreed to each color a part of it if I colored the face. Done. :)
*Please understand that my boys unwillingness to want to color the picture is in no way reflective of how adorable the picture is. Or, rather, maybe it is. ;)
Their idea of a really cool picture to color was St. Sabastian from Paper Dali- a saint with weapons! That is okay. I love this one and they were willing to color it for me.
We also watched Bernadette: The Princess of Lourdes.
