A Catechist’s Choice

Thumbnail

While sitting down with a cup of tea to write this post, I noticed a message on the tea bag label: “Your choices will change the world.”In his mission to the ends of the earth, St. Paul frequently made choices that changed the world around him and which continue to change our world today.

Tiny Saints!

I have already written my reviews of some of the awesome Catholic products I found at the National Catholic Education Association conference a few weeks ago, including the Catholic Children’s Bible and Brother Francis’ My Heavenly Friends prayer card collection, but I only briefly mentioned Tiny Saints as a cool Sacrament gift.I’ve been waiting for this big day, when Tiny Saints is officially launching their unique Tiny Saints charms.In the meantime, I have found ALL kinds of ways to use these cute little charms, providing a little reminder of the Saints…on the go!Tiny Saints already come with a clasp and cord for a cool necklace, but they would be awesome to add to handmade braided or gimp bracelets.
