Cathedral of the Immaculate Heart of Mary

by | Aug 22, 2014 | Father Carmelo, Immaculate Heart, Lego, Playing Mass | 14 comments

As much as the boys love their favorite LEGO collections, coming up with their own creations and building their town is their absolute favorite way to play with LEGO. I haven’t been the best at taking pictures of their MOCs (My Own Creation), and I’m even worse at posting the pictures on the blog, but in honor of today’s traditional feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary I have pictures of the boys’ latest LEGO MOC to share with you all!

Construction began on July 31st, the Feast of St. Ignatius of Loyola, and the Dedication Mass of the new Cathedral of the Immaculate Heart of Mary took place today. The solemn dedication ceremony was undertaken by the pastor, with episcopal delegation, since the bishop was not available.

This was such a challenge for them to build, using random pieces from their other LEGO sets. I love how creative the boys are with their legos!

If you’d like to know where any other parts came from let me know and I’ll ask the boys!

In spite of our sins, let us look up to our Blessed Mother and let us have confidence in her motherly heart. Then, even if we are sad or upset, we will feel peaceful and happy again.

    Benjamin, my 6.5yr old wanted to say that your lego creation is really nice! He wants them to mail him the pieces so he can rebuild it 😉 It really is awesome!! Great work!

    WE LOVE IT! They did an incredible job on their MOC and how great to have so many particular pieces to use for it! Especially like the details with the main altar and tabernacle – the cruets are really great!. I thought the paten originally may have been a candy piece that can be found in one of the Winter Village sets (and I think I've seen it in other sets around, too). There are swirls on one side of it and blank on the other, so I thought they may have just turned it upside down. And the candle pieces – would never have thought to use those from the Lighthouse set (we have that)! What a great idea! Will have to remember that! Nice to see it's a TLM, too, with altar rail!!!

    Tell the boys that they did a brilliant job on this MOC!!! WE are looking forward to adding to our Winter Village MOC soon – I have the pick-a-brick pieces waiting to get used when the time draws near! We'll send pictures when we're done with it for this year later during Advent! 🙂 I'm contemplating using the Medieval Market set from '09 that I got for our history middle ages studies for the Winter Village and making it a winter scene, since it can fit it with the Village sets/MOC that we're doing. Haven't told my daughter about it yet, though – it would be a surprise if I decide on it!

    Happy Lego! 🙂

    Lego means play well… job well done!!!! Just when I can't imagine my heart being more touched by your thoughtful precious kids it happens again. My legos enthusiast son was so excited to look through the pictures. The details were not wasted on our admiring eyes. Keep up the great work!!! Have lots of fun. Keep letting the light of Christ shine through your efforts!!!!!! God bless.

    Your children did such an excellent job! One our boys made use of his Legos in a similar way a couple of years ago–same, but different. 😉 http://www.project215.blogspot.com/2012/05/bringi

    Please share how your boys store their lego pieces as well as if they have 'kragled' (kra-z-glued) any of their creations. We have 3 boys here that are now into lego (9, 7, and 5) and the pieces are hard to keep in any sort of order. How your boys even remember what sets the pieces came from blows my mind. Any sorting, storage, or gluing tips would be so appreciated!!! keeping them away from little hands and mouths is key!! As always, love your blog – God bless your beautiful family!!

Prayer of Mothers

Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.

Hi! I'm Jessica, a Roman Catholic wife and home educating mother to our nine children. I was home educated myself, along with my eleven younger siblings. I have a special devotion to St. Therese, through whom I have been given much help and many blessings--the beautiful "Shower of Roses" that she has sent my way! Here I will record a few of the blessings I treasure. Please remember that what you see here is just a little glimpse at our lives, so please say a prayer for us, as we continue to strive for holiness.
