I love the different rhythm that our lives get into during the summertime. Sure, we get busy, but I love that we get to have times to sleep late, stay up late, eat lots of local fresh produce, and spend a lot of extra time together. It’s also a great time to work on some faith formation activities at home! Since July is almost here, it’s time for the July Activities for Catholic Families free printable!

I have updated the format of the Catholic family activities this year, so at the end of this post, I have both the older format download and the newer format download. That way, you can just pick your favorite.
I hope that even if you don’t feel these apply to you, maybe you will check them out and get a couple of ideas for fun and meaningful activities that might work for your family too! There are definitely some ideas for everyone!
10 July Activities for Catholic Families
(scroll past the list to get to the download links)
1. Have a special prayer time to ask for God’s guidance for your country and its people, especially for those in countries like the United States, Canada, and France that celebrate special holidays for their country this month.
2. Do a craft to remember that the month of July is dedicated to the Precious Blood of Jesus.
3. Pick a service project to do as a family this month. It could be something small or something large – it’s just important to do it with a giving heart.
4. Grab out blocks or LEGO bricks and create unique buildings and other creations for Saint Thomas the Apostle’s feast day on July 2nd. He is the patron saint of architects.
5. Visit Eucharistic Adoration (even if only briefly with young children) in honor of Saint Kateri Tekakwitha, who had a great devotion to the Eucharist. Her feast day is July 14th.
6. Prepare your favorite apple recipe on or around July 15th, since apples (and raindrops) are symbols of Saint Swithun.
7. Make empty tomb rolls as a reminder of Saint Mary Magdalene being present to see both the empty tomb and Christ resurrected. Her feast day is July 22nd. http://bit.ly/emptyrolls
8. Go fishing (or just play a round of the card game Go Fish!) in honor of Saint James the Apostle who was a fisherman. His feast day is July 25th.
9. Plan a visit (or video chat, if distance is an issue) with grandparents to celebrate the feast day of Saints Anne and Joachim, grandparents of Jesus. Their feast day is July 26th.
Post continues after this brief information about a monthly membership to help you live the liturgical year

10. Saint Martha used hospitality as a way to serve Jesus and others. Prepare a meal or treat for someone special. Her feast day is July 29th.

This is fantastic, Angie– thank you!!
Great ideas! Thanks, Angie. I knew about some of these saints but not others. We celebrated St. Kateri in Canada on April 17, but going to Eucharistic Adoration to honour her is a great idea.
Do you have a link up this week?
Sorry – I’ve had family in town. I finally got the post up. 🙂
This is great! Can’t wait to start doing with my family!
Thanks for sharing!!!
I’m so glad that you liked it! 🙂
Wow the Holy Spirit has done amazing internet things this week. I have been trying to incorporate the monthly dedications in our homeschool, but was having difficulty understanding the devotion to the Precious Blood. I stumbled back onto your site from my old Catholic Mothers Online button, found the link up to List It Tuesdays, decided to join the link up for the very first time, and then here you are sharing an activity from an amazing website. So much info on the Precious Blood. Thank you!
