Our special Saint is St. Therese. She has been a great intercessor for some serious health issues in our family. She is the patron saint of our parish and we say the St. Therese novena rose prayer every evening at home with the whole family.
Our Parish celebrated it’s titular feast day today with the Bishop of Lincoln, NE. He celebrated the children’s morning mass today and about 30 little girls dressed as Saint Therese. It was so heartwarming.
Our Parish decorates the sanctuary with St. Therese banners and they are up the whole month of October to remember our treasured patron saint. It makes for a beautiful kickoff to the fall season.
Family Saints and Fall Fun

This week on the Faith & Family Live Cast (click here to listen or click on the player above) Arwen, Danielle and Rebecca discuss their family’s special saintly intercessors. The ladies share about St. Blaise, St. Therese, St. Anne and the arch angels, sharing their families’ special stories of feeling close to these saints, especially in difficult times. Do you have a special devotion to your family’s patron saints? Who are they? How do you honor them? Have special prayers been answered?
This week’s Faith & Family Feature Product is the National Catholic Register’s 2010 College Guide. The National Catholic Register asked 10 simple Yes or No questions regarding basic Catholic identity. Their questionnaire is open to all North American Catholic colleges and universities. The Guide contains not only the schools’ responses about their Catholic identity, but also detailed information about costs and financing, degrees and curricula, religious and extracurricular activities, and more. Find this difficult to access information all in one convenient location!
In our final segment, Danielle fills us in on her Oktoberfest, sharing her pointers for hosting a large crowd and ideas for outdoor parties. Do you love to plan gatherings at this time of the year? Can you share any tips about throwing a successful Fall festival? How much food do you make for a big crowd? What do you do to keep the kids (and adults) entertained? How do you keep costs down?
