Here you’ll find 10 fun ways to celebrate Ascension as a family in hopes that one of these ideas will spark some ideas for you as you live out the Liturgical Calendar. Perhaps they will become your annual tradition for each Ascension! These are not just activities for activities sake, of course.

Here’s a simple and fun activity for you to do this weekend as a family as you live Liturgically. Make “mud” brownies!

Do you struggle with what fast-friendly meals to make for breakfast, lunch and snacks? I created a cheat sheet and meal planner to help lighten the mental load of thinking of easy and diverse fasting options. This freebie is a companion to the Apostles’ Fast Plan (available in the shop) but can also be used on its own. My hope is to lighten the load this Apostles’ fast, so you can spend less time thinking about what you are going to cook, and spend more time in prayer and participating in the divine services and fasting.
