**Catholic Icing Releases Free September Saint
of the Day Calendar to Support Liturgical Living at Home and in Classrooms**
As families and educators navigate the return to school and the transition into autumn, Catholic Icing has announced the release of a complimentary September Saint of the Day Calendar. Designed to make the rich traditions of the liturgical calendar both accessible and visually engaging, the newly available resource offers parents and teachers a simple way to keep the lives of the saints central to daily routines throughout the month.
The free printable initiative stems from the broader Catholic Icing Monthly Membership, a collaborative project created by Angie from Real Life at Home and her partner in designing educational and spiritual resources. The membership program provides subscribers with a rotating selection of digital materials tailored to help families live out the liturgical year at home, in homeschool settings, and within traditional classrooms. While the contents of the monthly membership change continuously and vary from year to year, organizers decided to make one of their decorative printable Saint of the Day calendars available as a public offering to mark the beginning of September.
September holds a prominent place in the liturgical year, offering a wide array of feast days and special devotions that appeal to children and adults alike. Among the notable celebrations occurring during the month are Michaelmas, which honors the archangels, the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the feast day of Saint Mother Teresa. Additionally, the month of September is traditionally dedicated to Our Lady of Sorrows, providing numerous opportunities for families to engage in themed crafts, recipes, and educational activities connected to these devotions.
The newly released September Saint of the Day Calendar set features two distinct pages matching the design themes established for the membership program. Formatted for standard 8.5 by 11-inch U.S. letter paper, the documents present a comprehensive Litany of Saints for September, listing one holy figure for each day of the month. To accommodate different preferences and learning environments, the download includes two font choices. The pages are designed for flexible display options, whether parents and teachers choose to place them inside a standard frame, mount them on a refrigerator, or feature them on a home altar or prayer table.
For those unfamiliar with the concept, home altars and prayer tables serve as designated sacred spaces within a residence where families can gather for prayer and reflect on the changing seasons of the Church. Organizers note that the daily calendar format encourages an extended daily practice, suggesting that families can look up additional details about the assigned saint or blessed individual each day to deepen their understanding of Church history and tradition.
The release of the free calendar also highlights the ongoing expansion of resources offered through the Catholic Icing Monthly Membership. Creators of the program acknowledge that many families feel overwhelmed or pressed for time when attempting to incorporate liturgical living into their busy schedules. Common obstacles include a lack of preparation time, uncertainty about where to begin, or well-intentioned seasonal decorations remaining on display long after a liturgical season has passed.
To address these challenges, the subscription model delivers comprehensive digital packs before the start of each month. These bundles typically encompass home altar decorations, themed recipes with matching printables, children’s activity sheets, coloring pages, and saint-focused crafts. By streamlining the preparation process, the membership aims to make celebrating the liturgical year both manageable and affordable for households seeking to anchor their daily lives in the traditions of the Catholic faith.
Beyond the monthly subscription service and the newly released September calendar, creators have developed additional comprehensive tools for long-term planning. The "Weaving the Faith" ebook and binder system is designed to help families organize their liturgical resources, plan feast day celebrations, mark sacrament anniversaries, and systematically build a home library of Catholic printables that can be reused year after year.
Interested individuals can request the free September Saint of the Day Calendar by signing up through the Catholic Icing platform. The download is provided as a complimentary resource for subscribers to the weekly newsletter, though recipients retain the option to unsubscribe at any time. Organizers emphasize that even individuals who already receive the weekly updates must submit a separate request for the September printable set to ensure the digital file is properly delivered to their inbox.
With September’s calendar now available, educators and parents have a new tool at their disposal to bridge the gap between classroom instruction, home life, and the vibrant heritage of the Catholic saints as autumn begins.
