Church Calendar O’the Day: The Conversion of St. Paul the Apostle (25 Jan)

Please download and share this presentation – PDF

It’s a special day on the calendar for the Paulist Fathers, so I share a beautiful prayer appearing on their Paulist Evangelical Ministries site.

Church Calendar O’the Day: The Epiphany of Our Lord (Jan. 6th)

Yes, I know that the Church this year liturgically celebrates Epiphany this coming Sunday. I’m sharing this feast with my students on Friday the 6th for a couple of reasons. First, there is not a major saint with a memorial on the 6th. And, Monday the 9th is the liturgical celebration of the Baptism of Jesus.

All Saints Day – Litany of Saints Presentation with Music

November 1st is one of my favorite days of the Church calendar – in part because we get to sing the beautiful Litany of Saints during liturgy. A couple of years ago I was inspired to find images of each of the saints mentioned in the hymn. I share this with you as I hope you’ll share it with your students as I share it with mine.

Here’s the presentation:

And a link to the corresponding music.

So, play the music and run the presentation as you “click” from slide to slide in synch with the saints named in the song.  Blessings!
