We believe that the challenges brought by this pandemic can serve as a gateway to new opportunities in strengthening the Domestic Church!

Happy New Year! This is the first Sunday of Advent and the first Sunday of the New Liturgical Year!
Add to your family's sacred space by creating an Advent Wreath as a family! Just take some green paper, trace and cut out everyone's hands, and glue them around the outer edge of a paper plate. Take 4 pieces of paper, 3 purple and 1 pink, and write the words "Faith", "Hope", and "Peace" on the purple paper, and "Joy" on the pink paper. If you have 4 small cardboard rolls (or 2 long ones that you can cut in half), cover them in the colored paper, if you do not have cardboard rolls, simply roll the paper long-wise and tape them closed. Tape or glue your four "candles" to the center of your wreath. Make 4 "flames" by coloring and cutting out some pieces of paper. This week, light the Hope candle. Keep your other "flames" close to your wreath so that you can light a new candle each week. You can find the prayers for each week at the link below. Example pictures are to the right, along with a form for submitting a picture of you and your family with the wreath you created. I would love you see your wreaths!
Advent Garland!
Here is another activity for your family to complete throughout the Advent Season! Follow the link below for full directions and then don't forget to submit a picture of your finished garland on Christmas!
"The souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and no torment shall touch them. They seemed, in the view of the foolish, to be dead; and their passing away was thought an affliction and their going forth from us, utter destruction. But they are in peace." - Wisdom 3:1-3
November 2nd is All Soul's Day
CTK CFF and CTK Youth Ministry want to honor and pray for all the faithfully departed members of your families. We want to do this by making a prayerful remembrance video to be shared. You can submit their name and a picture if you have one. VIDEO WILL BE RELEASED EARLY THE WEEK OF 11/29/20.
