Max, Gemma and GiannaMaria Stangeland of Valley City, N.D., proudly display the Catholic saint peg dolls made by their mother, Barb Stangeland, and 19 other mothers across the country. The women connected through a Facebook group for Catholic moms, and each hand-painted 20 “copies” of one saint, then sent them to a woman in Kansas, who boxed up sets and shipped them to each family, for either play or to be put on display. Stangeland, who works from home for Humana and has moved from Brookings, S.D., to Salem, S.D., to Valley City, N.D., due to her husband’s career changes in the past two years, said social networking has helped keep her connected to friends and family, as well as grow her faith, hobbies and interests, in ways that otherwise would be difficult.
