How do I subscribe to a Catholic calendar on iPhone?

Click the Apple Calendar button on our subscribe page. Your iPhone will prompt you to subscribe. Events update automatically as new years are added.

What is the difference between subscribing and importing a calendar?

Subscribing creates a live feed that auto-updates. Next year's dates are added automatically and you can remove all events by unsubscribing. Importing is a one-time copy of events into your calendar. You would need to come back each year to download the next year.

Does the USCCB offer a digital calendar I can subscribe to?

The USCCB provides a PDF calendar but does not offer an ICS subscription feed. Free Catholic Planner fills this gap by providing the complete USCCB liturgical calendar as a subscribable feed for Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, and Outlook.

What liturgical season is it right now?

Visit freecatholicplanner.com/calendar to see the current liturgical season and upcoming season changes. The Catholic liturgical year includes Advent, Christmas, Ordinary Time, Lent, the Sacred Triduum, and Easter. Subscribe to see seasons marked in your calendar throughout the year.

When is the next holy day of obligation?

Visit freecatholicplanner.com/calendar to see the next Holy Day of Obligation and all upcoming feast days. US Holy Days include Mary Mother of God (Jan 1), Ascension, Assumption (Aug 15), All Saints (Nov 1), Immaculate Conception (Dec 8), and Christmas (Dec 25). Subscribe so you never miss one.
