Celebrating Pope Francis in the U.S. and St. Junipero Serra

We are so blessed to have Pope Francis visiting the United States and bringing such an important message to our country during such an important time in history.  It has been so much fun to watch our children experience all of the activities with the Pope so far and hear all of their questions! 

All of our "regular" homeschool activities have come to a giant HAULT this week as we have been watching, learning and reading about Pope Francis and our new Saint Junipero Serra!  Thankfully there are amazing resources out there to add to our learning fun and enjoyment!

Here have been a few of our favorites:

Pope Activities for Catholic Kids - Catholic Icing

Pope Francis Printables and Worksheets - Real Life At Home

Pope Francis Craft - Catholic Icing

We also learned about Blessed Junipero Serra earlier this year in Seton History 1, so we pulled that book out to review his history.  We also did some other great activities to learn about saints being canonized and also watched the amazing canonization Mass!
