Creative Catholic Things To Do With Extra Calendars 2025 || Fun & Helpful Ideas!

[@catholicmomanddaughter]

What do you like to do with your extra calendars?

[@dloveofgod8269]

Great ideas!!! I don't get many extra calendars but didn't have these ideas other than I clipped out the beautiful pictures & scriptures from the top pages for residents in the nursing home. I have a question; what can one do with all the liturgy of the hours books & monthly missals after they're read? (Not taken by local church or thrift store ).

So many great ideas! I had a moment of inspiration while watching-I keep trying and failing to keep a record of how I’m doing spiritually, in order to make my confessions more thorough and fruitful. Using a calendar for brief notes each day sounds doable to me. Thank you!

[@catholicmomanddaughter]

That is a brilliant idea, Annie! We may also have to use one of our calendars for that. Thanks for sharing!

Clever clever clever! I'm feeling so inspired! I work in a Gr.4 Catholic School classroom, I also co-run a pre-teen girls group at school, these ideas could be applied with the students in so many ways. We study a virtue each month and a corresponding Saint that exemplifies that virtue. I'm thinking reflection, daily prayer leader log, goal setting journal. For my girls the physical calendar would make beautiful gift boxes to share the cookies we bake and share each year. We prayed for the Holy Souls in November, so we could log those. Thank you kindly for sharing this!Bless you!

[@catholicmomanddaughter]

What fun for your girls! You will have to keep us updated on how it all works out :)

I didn't know that there were catholic stickers. 😊 I am going to try the different titles of Mary ( I think there are117).

[@7peacefrog]

I didn't know there were 117 different titles for Mary? I learned some else new today Thank you

[@catholicmomanddaughter]

We're going with the one idea a month plan and hope to do at least one month for Mary also. Maybe we will write down 2 each day since there are so many :) 117! That is awesome!

[@LoantakaBrook]

Thank you! Maybe in 2025 you could make a video about what we can to do with our old calendars.📆🤔✝☺

[@catholicmomanddaughter]

Great idea- usually we salvage the art we like and recycle them, but if they don't have much writing they could still be used for several of the ideas in the video :)

[@giselavargas5555]

You guys are genius! Power duo!

[@catholicmomanddaughter]

Thank you! We're so glad you enjoyed the video :)

[@fultoneth9869]

Using creative minds for God's glory ! Awesome 🎉

[@catholicmomanddaughter]

Thank you for the kind words- we appreciate them!

[@onthelittleway]

These were wonderful ideas! I am going to try the Novena one. Thank you, ladies, and God bless you!❤

[@catholicmomanddaughter]

We are also going to lead off here with a novena month :)

[@elizabeth-o4e]

Wonderful ideas...Thank you Ladies...Have a blessed day!!!🙏

[@catholicmomanddaughter]

You are welcome, Elizabeth… have a blessed Advent!

[@sherryfarrell4031]

I love all these ideas! Maybe each month I’ll try a different idea! Thank you for sharing!

[@catholicmomanddaughter]

You are very welcome! We will also be trying one idea a month for 2025… excited to do this!

[@michelleisplanning]

I use a planner to write down what i was grateful for that day and I also track my rosary prayers.

[@catholicmomanddaughter]

That is wonderful- thank you for sharing :)

[@sillyselly2977]

I need a calendar now

[@catholicmomanddaughter]

Lol- if you ask around (especially at church), we feel sure someone will have an extra one for you :)

[@christiethomas6905]

These are such good ideas! You should do one for Christmas cards ❤

[@catholicmomanddaughter]

Great idea!! We do have a few ways we like to repurpose Christmas cards. Hmm...

[@MarieRussell-v8t]

Fold pages into origami boxes or origami envelopes to repurpose calendars.

[@catholicmomanddaughter]

Very fun idea- thanks for sharing!

[@LenaSheppard]

Thanks for sharing these ideas. I have the opposite & just wish that I could have a catholic calendar. I love them, especially with the saints dayson there. I appreciate you immensely !

[@catholicmomanddaughter]

It is nice to have all the feast days laid out. Does your church not usually give them out?

[@LenaSheppard]

@catholicmomanddaughter No, our church does not give out calendars. Once I received one from our diocese.

[@7peacefrog]

You have so many ideas, but I only have the Catholic Calendar from church. Sadly I don't get these like you do I love a lot of your ideas (The Novena, the Rosary prayers, the Mary and Martha) I'm going to need to find more Catholic Calendars for the coming year Thank you and God Bless!

[@catholicmomanddaughter]

If you ask around at church you will hopefully find someone who has extras to share. Also- you are the winner of our latest give away! (Advent book about the shepherds). We sent a message to you, but it may have gone to your spam folder. If you will send us your address (send to [e-mail]) we'll put it in the mail for you :)

[@alliemille]

How do we get them in the mail!? I feel bad taking more than one from our church, but I think my kids would like some in their rooms as well

[@catholicmomanddaughter]

We didn't mention it in the video, but we were thinking that it would be great fun to give kids a calendar and let them run with it. We get many in the mail from places we have donated to (Catholic Answers, etc). Also, Jennifer usually gets a couple from church for being a catechist (usually these are the planner type). You could ask at church if anyone has any extras or even ask around your neighborhood (if your neighborhood has a social media page, you could ask there… often people are more than happy to give extras away). Also- you could use last year's calendar for things like a sticker journal, etc. These are not date sensitive, so an old calendar or planner would work :)

[@joyceschoonover2716]

That was great!

[@catholicmomanddaughter]

We're so glad you enjoyed it, Joyce. Thanks for watching- hope you are having a very blessed Advent!

[@patriciarasura3091]

I donate them to Catholic Nursing Home where elderly residents reside.

[@catholicmomanddaughter]

Another great idea :)
