Resource Run Down for the Liturgical Week Featuring St. Vincent de Paul, the Transcendent Trio and St. Jerome

Another busy liturgical week is here and we have lots to point out and share with our kiddos and yours too! So, here is our liturgical run down for this week:

Tuesday, Sept.27 - Saint Vincent de Paul
Saint Vincent de Paul is the founder of the Congregation of the Missions (Vincentians) as well as the co-founder of the Daughters of Charity. The son of a French peasant, he was ordained in 1600 and devoted his life to acts of charity.

Download an 12 page set of Notebooking pages on Saint Vincent de Paul from our notebooking page or download a Saint biography learning card on St. Vincent de Paul from our saint biography learning card collection.

Wednesday, Sept. 28 - Saint Wenceslaus
You may have heard of St. Wenceslaus, King of Bohemia in the 10th century, from the Christmas carol written by John Mason Neale and published in 1853. Wenceslaus was raised in the faith by his grandmother although his mother and brother were opposed to Christianity. He intended on having his son take his thrown and rule with his strong beliefs in Christianity but his brother plotted against him and killed him in an ambush while the good king was on his way to Holy Mass.

For a great learning activity: go over the lyrics or sing the carol - which is usually sung on Dec.26th for the feast of St. Stephen, who is mentioned in the lyrics. It gives us such a great insight into the heart of this noble saint. Here is our printable version of the lyrical story of St. Wenceslaus.

Thursday, Sept. 29 - The Transcendent Trio (Saint Michael, Saint Gabriel and Saint Raphael)
This special trio of arch angels are part of the group of seven archangels who stand before God. They are recognized and venerated in both the Christian and Jewish Faith. This special day was once called Michaelmas in honour of St. Michael, but now this day celebrates this well known trio who are well known to intercede and protect human beings on earth.

Find out more about them and see our list of printable Resources for the Transcendent Trio.

Friday, Sept. 30th - Saint Jerome Feast Day
We love Saint Jerome in our home. Most know that St. Jerome is responsible for us having the Bible today. You can learn lots about St. Jerome and his accomplishments with our resources.
Learn about this great saint with a Little Lesson packet on St. Jerome. And then check out our fun printable Resources on Saint Jerome including a mini-book, notebooking pages and more.

Have a great week!

Blessings,

Resources for a Busy Liturgical Week - Our Lady of Sorrows, Exaltation of the Holy Cross and More

As I was looking at the liturgical calendar for the coming week, I realized how many things were coming up that I wanted to call attention to them not only to my own family, but to our online family as well, considering that we have resources for many of the coming events.

Here are the liturgical highlights for this coming week and a few resources to go with them.

Monday, Sept. 12 - Most Holy Name of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Instituted by Pope Innocent XI in the 17th Century, this feast honours the Blessed Virgin Mary for her exalted role in salvation. Her name is one is one of honour, piety and charity.

Tuesday, Sept. 13 - Feast Day of Saint John Chrysostom
Born in Antioch in 347, this uncompromising saint was dubbed the 'Golden Mouth' in tribute to his powerful preaching. He is a patron saint of preachers.

Download an 8 page My Book Mini-book about St. John Chrysostom or other saints.
St. John Chrysostom is also featured in our F3 Flip, Flap & Fold Folder to Teach About Creation.

Wednesday, Sept. 14 - Exaltation of the Holy Cross
This beautiful liturgical feast celebrates the dedication of the original Church of the Holy Sepulchre in 335 as well as Christ's Victory over death.

Celebrate this occasion with a Little Lesson on the Triumph of the Cross (includes also the feast of the Archangels) featuring lovely text, classic artwork and a bit of Latin fun as well.

Thursday, Sept. 15 - Our Lady of Sorrows
Once known as the 'Seven Sorrows of Mary,' this feast was instituted in 1668 out of devotion to Mary by the Servite Friars. Pope Pius VII extended it to whole Western Church in 1814. The seven sorrows are:

Simeon's prophecy at the Presentation of Jesus in the temple
The Flight into Egypt
The disappearance of the boy Jesus in Jerusalem
The road to Calvary
The Crucifixion
The removal from the cross
The Entombment

Help kiddos learn about Our Lady of Sorrows with a Little Lesson on Our Lady of Sorrows and then for even more learning fun try our F3 Piece on Our Lady of Sorrows. By combining the pieces, the coloring sheet, and extras from these two resources and creating a simple single prepared F3 folder, you could have a nice catechism lesson.

Hope this helps you plan and enjoy a lovely liturgical week.

Blessings,
Kalei
