All Saint's Day Pics

Today we celebrated All Saint's Day with our homeschooling co-op. This is definitely one of my favorite holidays!!! I love the idea of living out the liturgical season. While I don't always bake special treats or make ingenious crafts for saint feast days, I do go all out for All Saint's Day.

I've made these costumes over the years. This year I only had the time and energy for making a black bonnet for St. Elizabeth Ann Seton. Thankfully, Catherine had never worn our Kateri Tekakwitha outfit. And Sophia had never worn the Mother Teresa costume. Anna LOVES being St. Elizabeth of Hungary. And Kolbe cares mostly about saints with swords! =)

Here is today's line up of saints.


Blessed Virgin Mary





St. Kateri Tekakwitha

St. George (with real shield & sword!!)
*Every year Kolbe chooses to be either St. Michael the Archangel or St. George. I think he's been St. Francis once. Before he knew about swords. Next year I hope to steer him towards a different type of saint. Perhaps a martyr? =)

Bl. Mother Teresa

St. Elizabeth of Hungary


St. Elizabeth Ann Seton




All you holy men and women, pray for us!! My prayer is that I raise saints, please God.
