It's Here! Mary Bowen's Compilation of Advent Traditions O Root of Jesse
This one is near and dear to my heart as it is the summary of all the things we have faithfully observed during the season of Advent in our own family. Even better, she dedicated it to us.
In it you will find the
- St. Andrew's Novena
- A brief history of the Jesse Tree
- Poetic Douay Rheims translation of Scripture to be read each night with the Jesse Tree Ornament accompanied by lovely illustrations
- The O Antiphons with unique paintings, and
- Pages of cut outs of all the Advent ornaments to hang on your own tree
Buy this book before it sells out. It is only $13.99 and serves as a one time craft and an Advent companion that will be used for years to come. I think I'll buy one for each of my godchildren and a copy for own family to use rather than looking up the verses in the family Bible each evening.

Happy Michaelmas!
Today is the feast of St. Michael and we wish you a happy feast day. Celebrate by serving roasted poultry and blackberry pie.
Today kicks off the first Thanksgiving-style feast in our household and a special day for blackberries. Before refrigeration and during the time when produce was only eaten in-season today marked the end of the blackberry season. There was an old legend that the devil spits on the blackberries after today's feast.
Set up a St. Michael shrine and enjoy a special dinner on this great feast day!

Start Planning Your All Saints' Day Celebration
We are always pleased to partner with Party Like a Saint. They are one of our sponsors and recently helped us out with our FABIOLA Giveaway.
We are really excited about their new party supplies for All Saints' Day: The Royal Saints Collection.
Check out their website for your upcoming All Saints' celebration. This year, Party Like a Saint is on a mission to Take Back Halloween. All Hallows' Eve and All Saints' Day is a Catholic holiday celebrating our forebears already in heaven, which has been co-opted by the worst elements of our culture.
Industrious Family proudly joins them in proclaiming that it is time to take Halloween back! Join us and get decorations for your holy celebration at partylikeasaint.com

FABIOLA Funding Goes Into In-Demand Mode
We are proud to show off this new banner featuring FABIOLA, End of the Santa Fe Trail and Industrious Family Theater's logo. It looks like a red carpet back drop and we love how it turned out.
The Summer Fabiola is officially over but you can continue to donate and support the film as we go into InDemand Mode which means the funding continues and you can give whenever you are able.
