Random Home Decor for Catholics

Moving Catholic Decor Around the Home to create A War Room

Over the years I find that the need to redecorate is as natural as cleaning the home.  New inspiration can come from various sources.  I stored the more kitschy items that were purchased for the children when they were young.  Then I watched the movie The War Room.  Suddenly, I felt the urge to create my own Prayer Room and what is more natural for a Catholic, then to fill the room with Catholic items to help focus me on God and the saints.  The closet of choice is actually our study closet where we store our tax papers, photo albums and home papers.  A perfect place for the heart of the home.

St. Clare Monastery in Houston Texas

Last fall I was invited to help support a local monastery. St. Clare Monastery is a house for the Brothers and Sisters of Charity founded by John Michael Talbot.  It is a wonderful group of married, single, and families living a monastic life.  The Houston House, St. Clare's, hosts a breakfast and auction to help with the support of the community.  The following are a few photos of the table decor at this event.  The volunteers host a table and decorate with a Catholic theme.  It was an enjoyable time.  My mother and I gathered our Catholic decor and completed a Marian table.  We actually won the first prize for table decor.  The gift for winning was to share the St. Clare statue for one year with the members at our table.  Each lady has shared the large and beautiful statue in their home for devotion.
