Catholic Feast days have a sneaky way of showing up unannounced—like liturgical pop quizzes. One minute you’re sipping coffee, the next you realize it’s the Memorial of St. Jerome and you’ve got zero plan, zero prep, and zero idea what to do besides feel vaguely guilty.
Let’s fix that.Here are three simple, repeatable ways to track feast days weekly—without turning your kitchen into a command center or your planner into a theological dissertation.
1. Pick Your Feast Day “Anchor Day”
Choose one day each week to preview the upcoming liturgical calendar. Sunday works well—it’s already a reset moment. Pull up your favorite Catholic calendar (digital or printed), and jot down the major feast days for the week ahead. You don’t need to memorize them. Just know what’s coming so you can plan around it.Bonus tip: If you’re using a planner or binder, dedicate a small section to “Feast Day Focus.” It doesn’t need to be fancy. Just functional.
2. Use a Visual Reminder System
Feast days are easier to remember when they’re visible. That could mean:
- A sticky note on your fridge
- A dry-erase board in your prayer space
- A recurring calendar alert labeled “Feast Day Prep”
The goal isn’t to create a shrine to your organizational skills—it’s to make feast days part of your weekly rhythm. Visibility leads to action. And action leads to actually celebrating the saints you claim to love.
3. Tie Feast Days to Something Tangible
Want to make feast days stick? Pair them with something physical:
- A special meal (St. Joseph = Italian night)
- A short story or saint bio at dinner
- A prayer card on the breakfast table
- A small act of service tied to the saint’s charism
When feast days move from abstract to embodied, they become part of your family’s culture—not just your planner.
