Option 1
Watch on FORMED Brother Francis: The Saints, Our Friends OR Mother Teresa: Seeing the Face of Jesus OR St. Giuseppe Moscati: Doctor to the Poor Families can choose a video to watch for an activity this month, depending on the age of their children. The popular animated Brother Francis is back this month to teach children in PreK to 6th grade about "The Saints, Our Friends" in a 30 minute animated video. It is appropriate for PreK to 4th grade. The second video is a short history of the life of St. Teresa of Calcutta, and is age-appropriate for 5th graders through 7th graders. The third video, "St. Giuseppe Moscati" tells the story of an Italian doctor who was canonized in 1987 and is appropriate for 8th graders and up. We celebrate his feast day on November 16. (Note: This is a longer movie of 3 hours, and was filmed in Italian with English subtitles. However, it is very well done and worth the time to watch it.) You will need to log into your account on FORMED in order to watch any of the videos. Homework: To submit watching one video as one of your family activities for November, fill out the form below. |
Option 2:
Faith, Family and Food: Cooking with the Liturgical Calendar The November liturgical meal celebrates the life of St. Martin of Tours by creating a traditional Hungarian meal. This meal of Hungarian goulash, noodles and cabbage is the perfect meal for the cold weather. We celebrate the feast of St. Martin of November 11. Homework: To submit making this meal as one of your monthly activities, take a photo of your family gathered around the table and send it to: stcatherinehomework@gmail.com This video has been recorded and will be uploaded soon!
