10 September Activities for Catholic Families {Free Printable}

I started making the monthly Activities for Catholic Families printables way back in 2012 or so. I updated them for a while, and then made an attempt at making them usable each year without a need for updates, but that didn’t always work. What continues is my post from updating the September Activities for Catholic Families printable in 2014, but with a few changes. Toward the end, you’ll also have the option to download it in the older format or in the new format I just made and updated last night.

As unbelievable as it is, it’s already extremely close to the end of August. So, since September is fast approaching, it’s time for another free printable of 10 September Activities for Catholic Families.

While I know that these don’t apply to some of my readers, I hope that even if you don’t feel that they apply to you, maybe you will check them out and use some ideas that might work for your family too!  Although there are mentions of saints throughout the printable, most of this month’s activities are ones that most families could use or adapt for a fun religious (non-Catholic) activity.

10 September Activities for Catholic Families Printable

{Keep scrolling to get to the download.}

1. Grandparents Day is the first Sunday after Labor Day.  Help your children do something special with their grandparents or spend the day with them. {Note: This date changes each year. You’ll need to correct this on the printable if you download the older version/design, as it has the actual date it was in 2014. All other dates should be accurate.}

2. Decorate wooden, or even paper, letters spelling out MARY. Be as colorful and creative as you want to celebrate the Most Holy Name of Mary (September 12th).

3. Labor Day is the first Monday in September. Take the time to write a note or give a small gift to someone who works hard for your community (or for your family!).

4. Jesus is the Bread of Life. Pick out your favorite bread recipe and have your children help you make it.

5. Be a peacemaker. Do something nice for someone that you sometimes argue with. The feast day of St. Wenceslaus is Sept. 28th.

6. Saints can seem like people from long ago to children. Talk to them about Saint Teresa of Calcutta (when she lived and died), her work, and her writings.  Her feast day is September 5th. (Here are lots of Saint Teresa of Calcutta printables and worksheets.)

7. Find your favorite cross craft to create on Sept. 14th for the Exaltation of the Holy Cross.

8. Look around your room, house, or pantry for items or food to donate to the less fortunate. The feast day of St. Vincent de Paul is Sept. 27th.

9. Learn a prayer or even short phrase (like “Ora Pro Nobis,” which means “pray for us”) in Latin. St. Jerome translated the Bible from Hebrew to Latin, and his feast day is Sept. 30th.

10. September 22nd marks the beginning of Autumn. Try one of these fall crafts to celebrate.

Note: This download is free for personal or classroom use. It can also be put into church bulletins or newsletters, but the copyright credit line must be included (which just means to make sure that you don’t accidentally crop off the line with the copyright information at the bottom of the printable when you are reproducing it to hand out).

It cannot be sold, published, or hosted on other websites. If you want to pass along the printable though, please feel free to share a link to this post (not directly to the printable) with others. Thanks!
