A Few Tidbits…

A special thank-you to one of our great customers! She loves Our Lady and wants to spread the love. We have a customer that ordered many Wire-wrapped Seven Sorrows Chaplets (as long as a rosary) for the Feast of the Seven Sorrows! We were on a time crunch so we were twisting wire every spare moment for several days! Margy is a trooper tackling the project with me while looking after her little ones. That girl can twist wire in her sleep!

Here is another gallery of the last couple of weeks. We knew the time was coming for Angelo to leave so lots of pictures of him! We had special times at the lake. We visited with Nigerian friends. Colin and Z went on a little family vacation. Gin has had a lot of flowers to make this past while and Theresa has been busy making soap for the Shakespeare Festival. First day of school for some of the children and getting ready for a Bake Sale for the Traditional Family Weekend next year.

Finally, the goodbyes to Angelo as he left for the seminary yesterday. Family has meant much to him so his absence will be felt greatly. Prayers are much appreciated!

New Book Publishing Store!

St. Bosco Books

I am excited about this new publishing company!

Our friend, Debbie Malain, has started a small Catholic book publishing company where she is bringing wonderful old Catholic novels back into print for children, youth, and adults.

I have always had a special love for old books—especially those beautiful Catholic stories from years gone by, filled with faith, virtue, adventure, and timeless lessons. So many of these treasures have become difficult to find, and I love the idea of making them available once again for today’s Catholic families.

Please take a peek! There may be an old treasure waiting to become a new favorite in your home. ❤️📚

Great gift ideas for the kids! Please share!

“It should be our principal business to conquer ourselves and, from day to day, to go on increasing in strength and perfection. Above all, however, it is necessary for us to strive to conquer our little temptations, such as fits of anger, suspicions, jealousies, envy, deceitfulness, vanity, attachments, and evil thoughts. For in this way we shall acquire strength to subdue greater ones.” – Saint Francis de Sales, Painting by Richard S. Johenson

To trust in God’s will is the “secret of happiness and content,” the one sure-fire way to attain serenity in this world and salvation in the next. Trustful Surrender simply and clearly answers questions that many Christians have regarding God’s will, the existence of evil, and the practice of trustful surrender, such as:

How can God will or allow evil? (pg. 11)

Why does God allow bad things to happen to innocent people? (pg. 23)

Why does God appear not to answer our prayers? (pg. 107)

What is Trustful Surrender to Divine Providence? (pg. 85) and many more…

This enriching classic will lay to rest many doubts and fears, and open the door to peace and acceptance of God’s will. TAN’s pocket-sized edition helps you to carry it wherever you go, to constantly remind yourself that God is guarding you, and He does not send you any joy too great to bear or any trial too difficult to overcome.
