Living the Seasons: Simple Ways to Celebrate the Beauty of Your Faith Throughout the Year by Erica Tighe Campbell, Ave Maria Press
Living the Seasons: Simple Ways to Celebrate the Beauty of Your Faith Throughout the Year, by Erica Tighe Campbell (Ave Maria Press, 2023) is a delightful and practical resource for Catholic mothers and families looking for a rich and family-fun way to celebrate the liturgical seasons of the Catholic Church. Campbell, owner and designer of Be a Heart, understands the importance of family bonding and spiritual growth. This book is filled projects and crafts that bring the liturgical calendar to life in a meaningful and enjoyable way. Don’t worry if crafts are not your thing! Campbell offers good advice and the crafts have easily accessible supplies. The beautiful pictures are great guides, too.
From Advent to Ordinary Time and back, Campbell gives us a wonderful selection of activities that cater to various age groups and interests within the family. Whether they are simple crafts for young children or more complex projects for older children, every member of the family can find ways to celebrate their faith.
The activities are designed to encourage families to spend quality time with one another, deepening their bonds through shared experiences rooted in the teachings of the Church. Whether it’s designing an Advent banner, creating a cardboard cactus during Lent, or preparing a special meal for a feast day, each project gives space for conversation and reflection. I especially love how she incorporates prayer as part of these activities.
Living the Seasons is a great resource for Catholic families seeking an activity-based approach to celebrating the faith. It’s filled with activities and projects that deepen that celebrate the liturgical seasons in creative ways while creating lasting memories. This book is a lovely companion for families looking for ways to introduce the celebration of all the liturgical seasons throughout the year.
