St. Anne and St. Joachim, the grandparents of Jesus, are celebrated on July 26th. Their feast day is a perfect opportunity to honor your own grandparents and create meaningful memories together. Here’s how you can celebrate:

1. Coloring Sheet

Print out a St. Anne and St. Joachim coloring sheet while you read about the story of who these great saints were and their contribution to this world. 

2. Make a Card 

Our St. Anne and St. Joachim Activity Bundle also has a card included for print. But you can also get creative and make a heartfelt card yourself to send to your grandparents. Use colorful paper, stickers, and heartfelt messages to show how much you love and appreciate them. This simple gesture can bring a lot of joy to their day.

3. Eat Their Favorite Food

Celebrate the day by preparing and enjoying your grandparents’ favorite food. Whether it’s a cherished family recipe or a special treat they love, sharing a meal that reminds you of them is a wonderful way to honor their memory and presence in your life.

4. Spend Time with Your Grandparents 

If possible, spend time with your grandparents on this special day. Whether it’s a visit, a phone call, or a video chat, connecting with them and making them feel special is a beautiful way to celebrate St. Anne and St. Joachim’s feast day. Or if you no longer have grandparents around, say a prayer of repose and share stories and memories of them together.

By celebrating the feast of St. Anne and St. Joachim in these ways, you not only honor these important saints but also create lasting memories and strengthen the bond with your grandparents.
