How to print your Catholic wall calendar
Open in Adobe Reader
Open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat Reader for the most accurate print results. Avoid printing from your browser — it may resize the calendar.
Print at 100% / Actual Size
Select your paper size (Letter or A4), set orientation to landscape, and choose 100% / Actual Size. Heavier paper (24–32lb) gives the calendar a more substantial, wall-mounted feel.
Bind or hang each month
Three easy options: staple the stack at the top, hole-punch and use a calendar wire/ring binding, or simply tape each new month to the wall as the year progresses.
Live the liturgical year
Watch the seasons unfold at a glance — violet Advent, gold Christmas, green Ordinary Time, purple Lent, white Easter — with every solemnity, feast, and memorial in its place.

The Catholic Church marks each season of the liturgical year — and each feast — with a proper color. The calendar PDF shows these as a color band at the top of each day's cell.
The liturgical year at a glance
The Catholic liturgical year begins on the First Sunday of Advent — four Sundays before Christmas. It cycles through Advent (violet, preparation), Christmas (gold, joy), Ordinary Time (green, growth), Lent (violet, repentance), the Sacred Triduum (red, the Lord's Passion), and Easter (gold, resurrection). The 2025–2026 year uses Lectionary Year C; 2026–2027 begins with Year A.

The USCCB publishes a date-list PDF of the liturgical year, useful for clergy and liturgists who need exact rank and Lectionary references. This site generates a traditional wall-calendar grid — one month per page, easy to glance at and hang on your wall. Both use the same authoritative USCCB calendar data.

The official USCCB liturgical calendar via the LitCal API — the same General Roman Calendar and US proper saints (St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, Our Lady of Guadalupe, and others) that your parish follows. For the 1962 calendar, data comes from the missalemeum project.
Yes — three free companion products. The free printable Catholic planner has monthly + weekly spreads with writing space; the free digital Catholic planner is a hyperlinked PDF for iPad and Android; the free Catholic calendar subscription adds feast days to Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook.
A Solemnity is the highest rank — Christmas, Easter, the Immaculate Conception, and other major celebrations of the Lord, the Virgin Mary, or saints of universal importance. A Feast is the next highest, often for apostles or major saints (e.g., the Transfiguration, St. Mary Magdalene). A Memorial commemorates a saint — either obligatory or optional. Memorials yield to Sundays and Solemnities. On the calendar PDF, solemnities and feasts appear in bold.
The Catholic liturgical year begins on the First Sunday of Advent — four Sundays before Christmas. For 2025–2026 that's November 30, 2025 (Lectionary Year C). The 2026–2027 liturgical year begins November 29, 2026 (Year A). Although the calendar PDF runs January through December, each page shows which liturgical seasons it covers.
