My youngest sister Marta arrives in her new home today, the Abbey of Saint Walburga in Eichstatt, Germany. In the heart of beautiful Catholic Germany, the Abbey attracts visitors year round, attracted either by its exterior, or more importantly, interior life of beauty. She enters with no fanfare or ceremony, so I doubt I will have photos, and yet I hope I will.
Please join us in prayers of Thanksgiving!

Do you have a template for that paper saint? It's lovely and I would love to do that as a project with the kiddos. :)
