Saints & Seasons of the Liturgical Year is a hands-on religion resource that features liturgical enrichment activities for every month of the school year. Students can complete virtually all the projects on their own using the images and templates included in this consumable book.
Saints & Seasons includes:
- Dozens of student-directed, hands-on activities
- Original, endearing illustrations of over 100 saints—by Catholic artist Andrea Helen Smith—for use in making a monthly family calendar
- “Who am I?” saint quizzes for September to May
- Engaging stories and reflections about prayer, baptism, obedience, putting God first, true contrition, doing one’s best, and more
- Costume and game ideas for All Saints’ Day
- Ideas for celebrating Advent, Christmas, Lent, and Easter
- Card templates for Christmas, St. Valentine’s Day, Easter, and Mother’s Day
- Short skits and dramatic readings
Note–the course is not intended to replace your child’s catechism lessons, but rather to develop and enrich them.
Recommended for grades 4-8. A daily schedule for this program is available in CHC Lesson Plans for Fourth Grade.

Q: Is Saints & Seasons similar to the out-of-print book A Year with God?
A: Saints & Seasons was inspired by A Year with God. Some of the same projects are in Saints & Seasons that were in A Year with God, but they have been reworked so that the templates and directions are in the book. That way the 4th-grade student can complete the projects independently, instead of needing the parent to plan and direct the projects. There are also many new activities, stories, and reflections. The 100 saint illustrations and monthly theme posters are also completely new.
