Catholic Icing Releases Free July Saint of the Day Calendar to Help Families Embrace Liturgical Living
As families and educators prepare to transition into the middle of summer, efforts to keep the Catholic liturgical year vibrant at home and in the classroom are receiving a seasonal boost. The popular faith-based resource platform Catholic Icing, in collaboration with Real Life at Home, has announced the release of a complimentary July Saint of the Day Calendar printable. Designed to make the rich traditions of the Catholic calendar accessible and engaging for children, the newly available resource brings daily reminders of holy men and women directly to home altars, prayer tables, and classrooms.
The announcement comes as part of the broader outreach efforts associated with the Catholic Icing Monthly Membership, a subscription service that provides continuous creative content to help families live out their faith throughout the year. While the core materials of the monthly membership rotate regularly, platform creators decided to select one decorative printable Saint of the Day Calendar from each month and offer it to the public as a free download. With July rapidly approaching, organizers determined the timing was ideal to share the mid-summer calendar, which was originally featured in the July 2025 membership package.
Liturgical living—the practice of integrating the rhythms, seasons, and feast days of the Church into daily domestic life—can often feel overwhelming for parents and teachers. Organizers note that many families struggle to find the time or resources to keep up with changing church seasons, sometimes leaving holiday decorations up months after a liturgical period has ended. The new free printable aims to lower the barrier to entry, offering a simple, visually appealing way to maintain a connection to the faith without requiring extensive preparation or crafting supplies.
The July Printable Saint of the Day Calendar set includes two standard U.S. letter-sized pages featuring a Litany of Saints for July, with a dedicated saint or blessed listed for every single day of the month. To accommodate different aesthetic preferences and reading environments, the set provides two distinct font choices. Families and educators can easily display the pages by placing them in standard 8.5-by-11-inch frames, pinning them to refrigerators, or hanging them on display lines. Beyond serving as decoration, the calendar is designed to serve as a daily prompt, encouraging children and adults alike to look up the lives of the featured saints and incorporate brief discussions about their lives into daily routines.
In addition to celebrating individual saint feast days, the month of July holds a special designation within the traditional Catholic calendar. The entire month is dedicated to the Most Precious Blood of Jesus, a major focus that complements the various saint celebrations occurring during the summer weeks. Catholic Icing provides a wide array of supplementary resources, including themed recipes, activity pages, coloring sheets, and craft ideas centered on the Eucharist and the Precious Blood, giving parents numerous avenues to engage children during the summer break.
For educators and parents looking to take a more structured approach to seasonal celebrations, the platform also offers comprehensive planning tools. Among these is Weaving the Faith, a liturgical living ebook and binder system designed to help families organize resources, track sacrament anniversaries, and build a customized library of faith-based activities that can be reused year after year. The system serves as a central hub for organizing everything from major church feasts to everyday prayer table decorations.
The free July Saint of the Day Calendar is currently available to subscribers of the platform’s weekly newsletter. Those interested in obtaining the download can request the files directly through the Catholic Icing website. While the offer requires newsletter sign-up, participants retain the option to manage their subscription preferences at any time, though creators hope families will choose to remain connected to receive ongoing weekly inspiration for liturgical living throughout the year.
