One month under our belts, and we are still using (and loving!) our feast table. The biggest hiccup has been the little altar servers running off! It’s time to turn my attention to the February Feast Table.
I’ve compiled a list of the popular feasts that fall during February as well as some resources for your feast table or for plain ole liturgical celebrating in your Catholic home.
Ash Wednesday often falls during February, but not always, so I will be doing a separate post on feast table ideas for Lent.

Lent Preparation
Ash Wednesday may or may not fall during February (it can fall as late as March 10th), but either way, you can do some preparation for Lent. Some thoughts to ponder: home decor (or lack thereof), feast table decorations, sacrifices, extra religious practices, confession, etc.
