2012 Year of Grace Liturgical Calendar

This Catholic liturgical calendar begins with the First Sunday of Advent, November 27, 2011, and presents all the Sundays and weekdays of the liturgical year up to the Saturday of the Thirty-fourth Week in Ordinary Time, December 1, 2012. This year’s calendar presents an artistic theology of Mary and the saints. You can use this calendar to explain this theology to children and adults. Activities and discussion starters have been provided. With these beautiful images of Mary and the saints, this calendar can also be used for prayer and meditation. This calendar works best with a top and bottom that stay in the same place all year.

On the back of the calendar you will find a guide to using the calendar, general information about the liturgical year, and information about the art and artist.

Use the calendar to promote reflection and discussion especially about  the Catholic theology of the communion of saints.  Ideas for classroom activities and sessions are provided!
