10 March Activities for Catholic Families Printable Post Preview: This post contains two versions of a free printable with faith formation and activities to promote family togetherness that can be used by Catholic families. Most of the activities are also perfect for non-Catholic families. There are also additional resources for faith formation activities in March.
This post and printable were originally published in 2014. The post has been updated and a new version of the printable is available as well.
The March Activities for Catholic Families printable wasn’t quite as easy to make as some other months have been. Since I made an attempt to omit anything Lenten while making this activity printable (as well as when I remade this printable this year), it really takes out a whole lot of possible March activities.
However, we’re all set now. I have both the older version that I made of this printable in 2014, as well as the new version. There are a couple of different activities on the new version, but you can download and print either version that you like best.

Now, you may say, “Why would you omit all of the Lenten activities?”
It’s because I have so many great printables with family activities that are devoted specifically to Lent. You might want to check out some of the Lenten family activities printables as well:
- 10 Lent and Holy Week Activities for Catholic Families Printable
- 40 Lenten Activities for Catholic Families Printable
- 50+ Lent Ideas Paper Chain Printable: Things to Add and Things to Give Up for Lent {This one was specifically designed for most Christians to enjoy, not just Catholics}
As in previous months, many of these activities will also be wonderful for non-Catholic Christians to do with their families throughout the month.
10 March Activities for Catholic Families to Grow in Faith {Free Printable}
1. Find a coloring or activity page about a March saint, such as this free St. Katharine Drexel activity packet (March 3rd).
2. Write in a prayer journal or make a new prayer journal. You can work on a craft to decorate a new one or to give to someone as a gift. The things we know about Saints Perpetua and Felicity are because of a journal kept by Saint Perpetua. (March 7th) Here is a site that has some free prayer journal printables for kids.
3. Go to a book store story time or just take time to enjoy a fun time at the book store. St. John of God, the patron saint of booksellers, has his feast day on March 8th
4. Find a three leaf clover and talk about the Holy Trinity. If you can’t find one, you can try this free Shamrock Holy Trinity coloring page.
5. Pick some of these fun, hands-on activities for celebrating Saint Patrick’s Day, such as building a small boat or herding sheep – both things associated with Saint Patrick (Not sure why? Check out the post to learn more!)
6. Make cards for the fathers in your life. Saint Joseph was a wonderful husband and father, and his feast day is March 19th.
Post continues after this brief information about a monthly membership to help you live the liturgical year

7. Make some nun, priest, or saint peg dolls. There are directions (and some printable patterns) on Catholic Icing.
8. Plan a backyard garden. This is a perfect time to plan a summer garden or start cooler weather crops. Even a small garden can help children feel close to God through His Creation. (Here are Mary Garden ideas, if you want to make one.)
9. Go on a nature walk and look for signs of Spring. The official first day of Spring is in March!
10. Make your favorite angel craft or maybe even a tasty treat like angel-shaped cookies or angel food cake to celebrate the Annunciation of the Lord. (March 25th)

The 10 March Activities for Catholic Families is wonderful!! Thanks for the great resource! I teach kindergarten in a Catholic school and will be attaching this list to my newsletter next week.
This is the first time I’ve seen a list like this in such a eye-catching and user friendly format. Do you make a list for each month? If so, where can I find those?
Thanks so much for the compliments, Julie! I really appreciate it!

Hey Julie – I just wanted to let you know that someone gave me a heads up that the link was pulling last year’s printable for March. It’s been updated now. So, if you already downloaded it, you might want to try again. 🙂
Thank you! I will go back and download again :-).
Thank you!!
I love these monthly activities but when I print out March’s, I prints the one from 2013. Help!
Thank you so much for the heads up, Lisa! I clicked on it, and I hadn’t even noticed. I’m so glad that you brought it to my attention. I don’t know how that happened. I fixed it and I think that it should download the 2014 version now.
whoops-that was supposed to say “it prints the one from 2013”.
You are such a blessing to us!! What a great gift you give us to help us be “Catholic” in our homes and families!! LOVE THIS!!! I am a Coordinator of Religious Education for our 320 family program…you can bet I will be sharing these every month with my parents!! It’s just what I have been looking for!! Thank you for sharing this gift.
Your servant,
Michelle
What a wonderfully kind thing for you to say! I’m very humbled, and just happy to know that these make it into so many homes.
Tonight, there will be a new one showing up on the site for Lent and Holy Week. So, you might want to watch for it as well. 🙂
I just found your website (although I may have used the older ones at one point in time). I am the Coordinator or Religious Education at my parish and you are giving me so many ideas to share with my teachers. I purchased your Stations of the Cross bundle for the kindergarten class, and I can’t wait to see how they use it.
