12 Activities for Catholic Families in February (Free Printable) Post Preview: This post contains 12 faith formation activities that are centered around February feast days. To help your family work on these activities, the post also contains a decorative printable version of the activities.


Didn’t the new year just start? And here we are – February is just around the corner.  That means it’s time for the latest edition of the monthly activities for Catholic families printable.

As I have been working on for the last many months, I have a newly designed version of this February printable available in the decorative checklist format. It turns out that there were two different versions of the Activities for Catholic Families in February printables before, so I found the overlaps, updated some other parts, and found a few new resources for ones that don’t exist anymore.

You’ll be able to download the new free Catholic Activities for Families in February printable much farther down in the post, plus I have download links for both of the older versions. You’ll be able to pick which one will work best for you.

As always, my non-Catholic readers might also find some fun activities on this list. There will definitely be some that might not work. But, perhaps you will also find some things that you’d like to do with your kids.

A quick note on these February activities: You may notice that there is no mention of Lent, which begins in February. Since the dates vary so much for Lent, I have a separate 10 Lent and Holy Week Activities for Catholic Families Printable.

Lent and Holy Week Activities for Catholic Families

Contents of the 12 Activities for Catholic Families in February Printable

1. February is dedicated to the Holy Family. Pick one day to spend together doing family activities all day, such as games, group prayer, outdoor fun, movie night, or whatever your family loves best!

2. Make your own illuminated manuscript in honor of St. Brigid who started the first convent in Ireland and founded a school of art that became known for its beautiful illuminated manuscripts. (February 1st)

3. The Presentation of the Lord, also called Candlemas is February 2nd. Have a meal and some prayer time by candlelight. (Your parish may have blessed candles you may take home.) Talk about ideas for how each family member can give more of themselves to God. For younger children, frame this as asking what they can do to make God happy.

A cool set just in case open flames and little fingers are not a good mix in your house.

4. Have your family’s throats blessed for Saint Blaise’s feast day, if that’s available at your parish. (February 3rd)

5. Read about Saint Paul Miki and Companions (February 6th). Have a Japanese meal or a snack.

6. For the feast day of Saint Josephine Bakhita, pray for the safety and strength for Christians living in parts of the world where it is not safe to be a Christian. Also, take time to pray for people of all faiths who face violence and discrimination because of their beliefs. (February 8th)

7. Saint Scholastica was the twin sister of Saint Benedict. For her feast day on Feburary 10th, you can use a coloring page to learn more about these saint twins.

8. Make a grotto craft or project for the feast day of Our Lady of Lourdes on February 11th. You might use paper to make your grotto or even Rice Krispie Treats!

9. Send Saint Valentine’s Day cards to neighbors and family members who may not receive one otherwise. You could include some heart shaped snacks or baked goods! Here are several sets of Scripture-based valentines that are free to print.

    Angie,
    I love these monthly activity sheets and print them out for the parents of my 2nd graders in our Religious Education class. Question- will you be doing one of these for Lent? That would be an awesome one to share with my students/parents. Thank you so much for all that you do!

      Jennifer – Thanks so much for the compliment on the printables! I had planned to try to put one together for Lent, but haven’t worked on it yet. Keep an eye out on the blog or subscribe by email (there is not only a daily option, but also a weekly option) to see it when it comes out. 🙂

    Thanks for hosting! I’m sharing a spiced wine recipe for this week. Imbolc is a holiday very similar to Candlemas and St. Brigid’s Day… and, I don’t know about you, but I always find it very nice to have a glass of wine after a playdate!
    Have a great week!

    Each time I try to print out the February Family Calendar it does not print the words, only the heart that’s located in the center, left-hand side. I’ve tried this on three different printers.
    Any advice?

      Terry – at the bottom of the post, there are two suggestions for if you’re having problems with the download. I always have problems with them, personally, when I try to use Mozilla Firefox as my browser.

      Here is the section on problems from the post:

      If you are having clarity issues with the printable, please right click on the image and choose “Save Link As” and download the document to your computer. Then, open it from your computer, rather than through your web browser’s PDF plugin, which can sometimes cause some blurriness or other issues. Another solution can be to download the printable in a different web browser than you usually use

      I should add that when I use Google Chrome or Apple’s Safari, I pretty much never have any issues with the download. So, I would try those specifically.

    I don’t know if you have already published some, but our grandson LOVES color by number pages. Any chance you might include some of those?
