Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

A discussion regarding a need for a website that pulls liturgical printables and Feast Day ideas together has prompted THIS WEBSITE

The idea is to bring together many links to a central spot, ideas on ways to celebrate the liturgical year, ideas shared by real mums, ideas that have been tried and tested. Best of all for the visual, the posts often include pictures. Some of the links are a little more involved, some are helpful for that last minute mad dash The layout is designed to help follow in a chronological order.

We'd love feedback, comments on ways you think the website could be improved. Constructive criticism is welcome, oh and any snazzier name suggestions would be great

Obviously as mums we have to limit our blog reading time, so if there is a post that you think should really be there please let us know, it could be that we just haven't read it.

Ideally we'd like to seek blog writers approval to be linked to, but this will take time.

We realise that it's small at present but it will grow.

Thank you so much for your encouraging words, they mean so much. Often when you are doing these things it feels a bit like a vacuum and you don't know if the website is of help unless you have feedback. Once again thank you

Now we need help, I'm actually about to move the site from google pages to google site thanks to some great advice This will make it easier for collaborators to be added, comments to be received etc But before I can do this we need help on choosing a name. Keep in mind this is like a hub, a place that has gathered many links together in aiding celebrating the liturgical year, the name needs to instantly convey something of what it is about. The following suggestions come from my family and a dear friend's family, I'm happy for new suggestions too. So what do you think? Do you like one of the following or something else? Please share.

The Church Triumphant
Faith-Filled Days
Faithful Living
Celebrating Throughout the Year
Every Saint has their Day
A Saint for All Occasions
A Feast for All Occasions
A Day to Remember
A Feast of Saints
The Holy Days
Feasts & Famine
Feasts & Fasting

Saints on Parade
Saintly posts
Heavenly branches
Saintly fun
Fun with Saints
Heavenly Circle
Angelic activities
Saintly stairway
Saintly living
Harvest of Halos
Holy Pages
Heavenly Heroes
Halleluiah Heroes
Orchard of Virtue
Heroes Hot-spot
Mothers Miraculous Helpers

From your lists I like Faith-filled Days.

No, I don't think it's too long... if some think it is, it could be used as a two part name (like having a sub header):
Faith Filled Days
~ in the Domestic Church

And something along this line is what I would vote for as well.
