How to Party Like a Saint: Reclaiming Celebration in Catholic Family Life

In a world where faith is often framed as heavy or restrictive, the saints tell a very different story- one of joy, feasting, beauty, and deep friendship.

In this episode, I sit down with Ana Keyworth, co-founder of Party Like a Saint to explore what it really means to party like a saint- and why reclaiming celebration is essential for Catholic family life today.

We talk about how feast days form children’s hearts, why joy is a spiritual discipline (not a personality trait), and how ordinary moments- birthdays, liturgical seasons, simple gatherings- can become powerful tools of faith formation. This conversation is for parents who want their homes to feel alive with meaning, not pressure… rooted in tradition, but full of delight.

If you’ve ever wondered how to pass on the faith without making it feel heavy, how to build a Catholic culture your kids actually love, or why celebration itself can be a quiet act of evangelization- this episode is for you.
