Catholic Icing Releases Free November Saint of the Day Calendar to Help Families Celebrate Liturgical Living
As November approaches and families prepare to observe a month rich in Church history and traditions, Catholic resources creator Angie and her publishing partner have announced the release of a complimentary "November Saint of the Day Calendar" printable. Designed to make living the liturgical year accessible and engaging both at home and in the classroom, the newly available resource highlights a different saint or blessed for every single day of the month.
The release comes as part of ongoing efforts by the creators behind Catholic Icing and Real Life at Home to provide beautiful, practical materials that help parents and educators integrate the Catholic faith into daily life. With November 1st marking the celebration of All Saints’ Day, the creators noted that the weekend serves as an ideal time to distribute the calendar free of charge to subscribers.
Originally featured as part of the November 2023 Catholic Icing Monthly Membership pack, the decorative calendar is designed to fit standard U.S. letter-size paper and includes two distinct font choices to suit various preferences. Families and educators can frame the 8.5×11-inch pages, place them on a refrigerator, or incorporate them into home altars and prayer tables to keep the saints front and center throughout the month.
November holds a unique place in the liturgical calendar, packed with prominent feast days and significant historical observances. Alongside All Saints’ Day, the month features the feast days of St. Martin de Porres, St. Cecilia, and Martinmas, while also marking the general beginning of the Advent season. Beyond individual saint commemorations, November is traditionally dedicated in the Catholic Church to praying for the holy souls in purgatory. Additionally, the month is recognized as Black Catholic History Awareness Month, a designation established in 1990 to honor the contributions and heritage of Black Catholics, given that individuals of African descent make up a specific portion of canonized saints.
The free calendar set is being offered as an exclusive download for subscribers to the platform’s weekly newsletter. While recipients retain the option to unsubscribe at any time, the creators hope the weekly dispatches will continue to provide families with ongoing ideas for feast day celebrations and liturgical living. Those wishing to obtain the calendar must submit a request through the designated signup link, a step required even for existing newsletter subscribers to ensure proper delivery of the digital files.
For families seeking a more comprehensive approach to tracking the liturgical year, the creators also offer broader resources, including the Catholic Icing Monthly Membership. The membership program provides continuous access to themed printables, prayer table decorations, liturgical recipes, coloring pages, and saint-themed crafts. Furthermore, an extensive liturgical living book and binder system, titled Weaving the Faith, is available to help parents organize resources, plan celebrations year after year, and build a lasting library of Catholic traditions for the home.
