Saint Anthony Padua
We celebrated with our moms/ homeschool group.
Date:
June 13
Activities:
Celebrated actual feast day on the beach!
I made a coloring page for the kids to color.
Food:
goldfish and whales
chocolate tonsures, based on chocolate crown of thorns
Information:
Anthony was a Franciscan priest. Two famous stories about him: He was tired of preaching and not being heard, so he turned to the fish in the water to preach to them. To everyone's surprise, all kinds of fish came out of the water. Secondly, there is a story that he insisted that even a hungry horse would know the True Presence.
Prayer:
Unfailing Prayer to Saint Anthony
O Holy St. Anthony, gentlest of Saints, your love for God and Charity for His creatures, made you worthy, when on earth, to possess miraculous powers. Encouraged by this thought, I implore you to obtain for me (request). O gentle and loving St. Anthony, whose heart was ever full of human sympathy, whisper my petition into the ears of the sweet Infant Jesus, who loved to be folded in your arms; and the gratitude of my heart will ever be yours. Amen.

Saint Mary Magdalene
We celebrated the feast of Saint Mary Magdalene a bit early with our moms/ homeschool group.
Date:
July 22
Activities:
I made a coloring page to color.
We colored miniature wooden eggs.
We played with leftover confetti eggs from Easter.
I wanted to make real madelines as found on Catholic Cuisine and Fisheaters, but I didn't have the time and I really didn't want to buy a special pan. Instead, I made homemade shell shaped chocolate candies. I just bought a candy mold with shells on it at Hobby Lobby and voila! shell shaped candy!
Food:
Shell shaped chocolate candies
Information:
Mary Magdalene is often pictured with an egg in her hand. This is a reminder of her presence at the empty tomb on Easter Sunday.
Prayer:

OR
Intercessory Prayer to Saint Mary Magdalene

Saint Mary Magdalene,
woman of many sins,
who by conversion
became the beloved of Jesus,
thank you for your witness
that Jesus forgives
through the miracle of love.
You, who already possess eternal happiness
in His glorious presence,
please intercede for me,
so that some day
I may share in the same everlasting joy.
Amen.

Starting again...
I usually post all of my feast day plans, ideas, and celebrations on my Shutterfly share site. However, since that cannot be easily searched, I'll do a basic post over here on that particular saint feast day or other liturgical activity and then link to the more detailed post on the share site through Shutterfly. I am really impressed by the unlimited storage capacity, ability to link documents and other files, and the ease of creating posts. Shutterfly makes it very easy to link documents, pictures, text, etc into one post, which simplifies it for me and allows me to do more in less time. If only it could be searched for! That link is: stannehomeeducation.shutterfly.com
