Autumn Saints

Some of the very special feasts celebrated this month of October, St Therese, Francis of assisi, guardian angels, Blessed Henry Newman.

Below is how we celebrated these days and it turned out to be great blessing and learning. Theresu's feast days here and made some cupcakes and iced like little roses.

 

These days catechism classes were teaching lot about angels and craft angel was made by Geo and Theres.

It was a great opportunity to read through the story  of Blessed Henry Newman and we learned one of his famous hymn: "Praise to the Holiest in the height....and looked at his motto of "Heart speaks to Heart".

Autumn

The gardens and trees  have flowered and fruited. Finaly , it is autumn. The brilliant time to grab your wellies,coats ans head to the woods. The leaves turning to vibrant colours and on windy days you will see lots of leaves swirling in the wind. The prime time of the year for nature and church.

 Some of our visits during this time in Felcrow park. A beautiful location for children to enjoy this season, hidden in the woods,lots of cold water to splash, stones and have fun.

Some pictures in Chorlton water park on the feast of St Francis of Asisi who loved animals and birds. Of all the creatures, birds were Francis' pets. Whenever he preached, they would gather and crowd the trees, chimneys and towers. Geo is feeding the ducks and he quite enjoys feeding and watching the birds.

3 chickens arrived in our home and little ones very keen to feed and look after though bit scared. Jochayan busy making chicken run and clearing off things in the back garden for the chicken.

Children are making some autumn crafts by dipping maple leaves( collected from park) in melted wax to decorate and was fun for them.
