Catholic Missionary Family: Ideas for April Feast Days and Celebrations

Here are some of our favorite traditions for the month of April. This is by no means an exhaustive list, rather it's my way of creating a resource that I plan to revisit each year for myself! I hope you can find it beneficial as well!

Month of the Holy Spirit

Crafts

For Purchase: The Gifts of the Holy Spirit: Oriental Trading Company (or follow Catholic Icings instructions to make a knock off)
Holy Spirit Sun Catcher: Christian Gifts to Go

Food: Lots of ideas at Catholic Cuisine
This would be a great month to read Bl. JP II's encyclical Dominum et Vivificantem or Pope Leo XIII's encyclical Divinum Illud Munus
Prayer

Chaplet of the Holy Spirit: Catholic Culture
Litany of the Holy Ghost: Catholic Culture
Come Holy Spirit: Catholic Online

The month of April is always filled with the seasons of Lent and Easter, so the Saints whose days we celebrate during April are often suspended by other Holy Days. My list is short this month because we spend so much time on Holy Week and the Easter Octave!

April 16th: St. Bernadette
