Ideas for Getting Started: Church Calendar
This document includes special days celebrated by the Catholic Church and other
religions around the world as well as key national and international dates.
These are not complete lists of special days but your Chaplaincy Team but even so your
Chaplaincy Team should choose which topics/themes/celebrations to focus on each
month as it is not recommended that all dates are celebrated. It is better to do less and
do them well. We hope that you can bring them to life with your energy and interesting
ways of sharing them with others, especially through your prayer and worship.
At the end of this document there are some ideas for involving pupils in the planning,
preparation, leading and evaluation of worship although there are more resources and
websites to support you further in Prayer, Worship and Liturgy Support Document. If
you have any questions, please ask your priest/chaplain and make links with special
visitors from other faiths.
Most of all, please enjoy sharing these with pupils in your school so you can help others
to know God and build a better world for all.

of God to humanity is remembered
2. As we remember this, we prepare our hearts and minds for the Second
Coming of Christ at the end of time
During this time, we hear in the readings about the promise of the Messiah in the
prophecies of the Old Testament and the preparation of Mary and John the Baptist.
It is a time of joyful expectation.
