If you are a Catholic family, teach in a Catholic school, or help with religious education at a Catholic parish, you’ll need Catholic saints resources. We make this a cornerstone of our faith in our family, and have collected some of the best ideas around.
Bookmark this page for reference, as we will be updating this throughout the year. Arranged by liturgical year, you’ll find craft ideas, books, videos, recipes, activities and more to help you and your children learn more about our amazing Catholic saints.
You can start by simply reading about the saints. We have book lists for every month of the year, as well as Lent, Easter and Advent. Some families choose a patron saint for the year. We start with saints that are dear to us, giving nod to our ancestral heritage. (you’ll find that Irish saints are favorites around here)
Other times, we connect with saints who have a patronage that is important to us, or faced similar struggles. For working moms, St Gianna stands out. Expecting? St Gerard is your guy. Catholic homeschooling mothers often lean on St Elizabeth Ann Seton or St Thomas Aquinas.
We also pay special homage to the saints for whom our children are named. In our house, that’s St Thomas, St Patrick, St Elizabeth of Hungary, and St Catherine of Siena. In a few years, we’ll be looking at Confirmation saints, too.
Studying the saints in your home isn’t complicated. Just pick a spot and dive in!
