Assumption of Mary Feast Day Celebration

Two families gathered at one LWHE member's home to celebrate the Assumption of Mary feast day two days early.  We enjoyed a nature walk, prayer, making Assumption vases, art, snacks and drinks together as we connected symbolism to the Assumption.

One member wrote more about this saint day playdate on her family blog, Training Happy Hearts.  Feel free to pop on over to see more snapshots and read details about the celebration.

Next month's feast day fun will likely be centered around the Mary's birthday, unless someone suggests another saint day.  We'd love to hear your ideas!

St. Ignatius of Loyola Feast Day Celebration

Three families gathered at one LWHE member's home to celebrate St. Ignatius of Loyola's feast day one day early.  We enjoyed prayer, snacks and drink related to St. Ignatius, spiritual exercises, a craft and a Life of St. Ignatius obstacle course.

One member wrote more about this saint day playdate on her family blog, Training Happy Hearts.  Feel free to pop on over to see more snapshots and read details about the celebration.

Next month's feast day fun will likely be centered around the Assumption.  We'd love your ideas for it!

John the Baptist Feast Day Celebration

On John the Baptist's feast day, five LWHE gathered to celebrate with food and fun!  One member wrote more about the faith-based festivities on her family blog, Training Happy Hearts.  Feel free to pop on over to see how children learned and shared about John the Baptist's life using food and water balloons, as well as to catch some glimpses of the hands-on Sacrament of Baptism learning tray each child took a turn with.

Our Lady of Altagracia Day Tea and Playdate

Betwixt January snow storms, three LWHE gathered in a member's home for a simple Our Lady of Altagracia tea and playdate.  

Activities included shared prayer, a read aloud, art with pastels and free play.
