Starting in mid-2017 and finishing in 2018, I worked through sharing a coloring book each month with Catholic saints for that month – this is all of the coloring books together in the same packet. I thought that a great addition to that collection would be a similar style of book, but this time a Mary Coloring Book for Catholic Kids.
You may ask, “Why for Catholic kids? I’m not Catholic, but I love Mary too.”
Sure – you can definitely use it too. However, the coloring book is made up of pages like Our Lady of Knock and Our Lady of Guadalupe. So, I figured it was more Catholic-specific. Anyone, however, is more than welcome to use it. If you want a more general Mary coloring page, you might like this free coloring page with Mary with flowers on it.

Mary Coloring Book for Catholic Kids
The Mary Saints Coloring Book has a cover with words and a border that can be colored. It also includes six coloring pages with Mary. Each page also has a colorable border plus the name of that picture and feast day.
Every page of the coloring book is a half sheet of paper. This means that two pages fit on each standard 8.5×11 piece of paper.
Pages included in the Mary Saints coloring book:
- Front Cover
- Our Lady of Lourdes
- Our Lady of Fatima
- Our Lady of Perpetual Help
- Our Lady of Mount Carmel
- Our Lady of Knock
- Our Lady of Guadalupe (Here is a whole printables packet for Our Lady of Guadalupe and Saint Juan Diego)
- Back Cover

How to Put Together the Mary Coloring Pages to Make Your Mary Coloring Book
You have a few options for putting together the Mary coloring book.
Here are the options that I have for you on how to assemble this saints coloring book:
1. Print the whole project on just two pieces of paper using duplex printing
If your printer allows for duplex printing or you can manually do this with your printer, you can print the first page of the book on one side of the paper and the second page of the book on the other side of the paper. Then, you will do the same with another piece of paper for the third and fourth pages of the document.
If you want the dates to work in chronological order, you will want to print the page with the front and back cover on the same sheet of paper as Our Lady of Lourdes and Our Lady of Guadalupe. You will print the page with Our Lady of Knock and Our Lady of Fatima on the opposite side of the piece of paper as Our Lady of Perpetual Help and Our Lady of Mount Carmel.
The directions on how to manually duplex print on printers are different for each printer. Unfortunately, this means I can’t really help with directions on exactly how to do this on your printer.
Once I had my two double-sided pages ready, I just folded them in half and made them into a book. I used my long reach stapler to fasten them together in the middle. Easy peasy!
Or, you can always just fold them together and then use a regular stapler to staple the fold together. Another option is to hole punch the booklet and use yarn to tie the booklet together.
2. Print the pages single-sided and cut them apart
If you don’t want to mess with double-sided copying or you don’t want the coloring pages to be printed back-to-back, you can print out the four pages of the printable and cut them in half to get your eight page coloring book. Then, assemble in the order of your choosing and staple them together.
This can also be a nice option if you are having children work on this just one page at a time.
3. Don’t make them into a book at all
Follow the second suggestion up until that stapling part. This is good if you want to give kids one half-page at a time and don’t want to give them a whole book at once.
