We’re really enjoying our monthly liturgical displays! November is such a lovely month…a month of feasts and family tradition. The joy we have as we contemplate the “communion of Saints” is tempered with the holy obligation we all share to pray for the Holy Souls in Purgatory. This month’s display contains elements of barrenness…bare branches and dried flowers remind us that we are approaching Advent. Images of the Saints in the glory of Heaven, and the Holy Souls help us to keep our focus on eternity. Fr. Alder is attired in black today…the first time we’ve used the black vestments.
Happy Feast of All Souls…may the souls of all the faithfully departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace…
Blessings,

I am a traditional Catholic homeschooling mother of 9 children, married for 30 years to the most patient and sainted man. As converts to Catholicism in 1991, our family has only recently discovered the beauty and full expression of our beliefs in the timeless liturgy of antiquity, the Extraordinary Form also commonly referred to as the Traditional Latin Mass. An avid knitter, I also enjoy gardening, reading and immersing myself in the everyday graces of my vocation.

Lovely display! I keep saying I’m going to make our own wooden priest with the liturgical colored vestments. Someday soon I hope. Thank you for sharing.
God bless!
I love it!!!!! So far the kids have painted 5 saints. I made the traditional Roman vestments for our little wooden priest
Wow! What a beautiful and saintly display, so child-friendly, so special and greatly uplifting to view saintly friends at a glance.
