As I mentioned last month, I am starting to work through all of the the Monthly Activities for Catholic Families printables and update them. I am trying my best to make sure that they should be able to be used year after year by editing out dates that change from year to year.

I have a new fun format for the printables, which really speak to my natural desire to check things off lists. However, if you still love the old format, I’m keeping the older versions available for download still as well. They haven’t been updated in a few years, but they are all mostly accurate for dates.

12 October Activities for Catholic Families {Free Printable}

{This is a listing of all of the activities on October’s download, plus a few helpful links that don’t appear on the printable, so be sure to read through the list for additional resources.  The link for the download for both versions is after the activities.}

1.  October is dedicated to The Holy Rosary.  Make a full or single decade Rosary either as a family or each family member individually.

Here are some downloadable directions for making a Rosary with children.

Here is a different Rosary craft that is especially easy to make for younger children:

Here is a whole set of printables about Mary and the Rosary:

2. Start planning this month for an All Saints Day party or playgroup to celebrate All Saints Day on November 1st. (It’s also a Holy Day of Obligation.)

3. Spend a day doing little things for God and others in honor of the feast day of St. Thérèse “The Little Flower” (October 1st). {Here is a 31-page Saint Therese Printables and Worksheet Packet, if you would like to do more St. Therese activities.}

4. Work on activity and coloring pages about St. Francis. (October 4nd)

5. Enjoy angel food cake (or another angel themed treat) for feast of the Holy Guardian Angels. (October 2nd)

6. St. Ignatius of Antioch called himself the “wheat of Christ.” Plant some winter wheat with your children. (Oct 17th)  Here is some information about planting wheat, which can be a great ground cover for your garden over the winter.

7. Spend the month doing read alouds from Gospel according to St. Luke (or pick a few stories for younger children).  St. Luke’s feast day is Oct 18th.

Post continues after this brief information about a monthly membership to help you live the liturgical year

9. Check to see if any local parishes will be doing a Living Rosary during October.

12. For the feast day of the Holy Guardian Angels (Oct 2nd), find your favorite angel craft to complete as a family.  (You can also work on memorizing the guardian angel prayer together.  Here is a link to different guardian angel prayers.)

      All of the items on this printable still seem to be up to date, even though I made it a few years ago. I will probably make an updated version with the new format that I did for the September version closer to the end of September.
