A St. Paul the Apostle initiative to encourage parishioners to prayerfully bring the faith beyond the church building and into their homes.  Heavenly Homes will provide opportunities to learn about feasts, traditions, and teachings of the Catholic faith and to celebrate the vibrant Catholic culture through activities, food, videos, decorations, etc.

Below, you will find a few facts about each liturgical season, monthly devotion, or feast day, and some ideas about bringing that piece of Catholic culture into your home.  We strive to provide various options, empowering you to choose what best suits your home situation.

Tips if this is your first time celebrating at home:

  • Be realistic with your time and situation to pick something that works for you and your family.  This isn't a competition with anyone else or with who you were.
  • Embrace the learning process of celebration. Reflect on this celebration when you plan for the next one.  Was it too much, not enough, or just right?  Did you enjoy the task or want to try something different? Your journey is what matters.
  • It doesn't have to be perfect. Remember that God has a sense of humor.  He knows you, and He loves you.  He sees the effort you put in, making Him happy.
  • It doesn't have to be big or flashy; it can be, but it doesn't have to be.

Looking for more opportunities to celebrate the faith?  Check out The Little Rose Shop, which has a calendar with more feasts and celebrations that you can add to your calendar (Google, Outlook, Apple, Yahoo, Office 365).
