Many people like to use a special calendar to help them mark the days until Christmas. You can use this Web calendar to remind you to do something each day to share the meaning of the season. Click on the image to access the calendar. Each day of the Advent calendar will give you an idea to help you prepare for Jesus’ birthday.

There are many terrific Catholic websites with Advent ideas, games, colouring pages and crafts. And much of it is free!


Advent and Christmas are an amazing time of year! It’s important to get the true meaning of these seasons across to kids, rather than getting lost in the secular shuffle. Catholic Icing is dedicated to helping mothers and educators do just that!
