Eight hundred years after his passing into eternal life, St. Francis remains one of the most beloved saints of all time. The artwork in this year’s calendar (2026) by artist Jen Norton depicts pivotal scenes from the life of St. Francis and seeks to foster a renewed appreciation for the ways he continues to inspire us today.

At the center of the calendar, Christ speaks to Francis at the church of San Damiano, calling him to rebuild the Church. The heart of Catholic and Franciscan spirituality is attentive listening to the voice of Christ and joyful pursuit of whatever he asks us to do. The corners of the calendar give us further glimpses of the unfolding work of grace in Francis’ life as he follows the Lord’s call. First, we see him forsake his father’s wealth to embrace a life of gospel poverty, which soon inspires others to join him. Next, we see Francis developing a deepening love for Christ in the poor as he embraces a leper and joins the beggars outside St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. Filled with joy for having found the fullness of his heart’s desire in God alone, Francis preaches the good news to all creation—bearing in his words and in his own body the marks of his beloved Savior. Finally, we see images of the enduring legacy that this Poverello (“poor man”) of Assisi unleashed in the world by his response to Christ’s invitation, and in which we are invited to participate by our own yes to Christ.

The Year of Grace 2026 year follows the Sundays of Year A and the weekdays of Year II of the liturgical cycle, beginning November 30, 2025 (First Sunday of Advent) and ending Saturday, November 28, 2026.

 LTP’s circular display of the liturgical year makes its key features easily understandable. We can see at a glance the liturgical seasons in their characteristic colors, Sundays on the outer rim, and the days and weeks radiating from the center.

 Use Year of Grace 2026 calendar in many ways:

• Give (or sell) one to every household in the parish and school.   
• Hang one in every classroom, meeting room, and in the church vestibule to teach about the liturgical year.
• Assign students to report on specific liturgical days. 
• Present calendars to first communicants and Confirmation candidates.

Compendio Catecismo de la Iglesia Cat?lica

Only available for sale in the United States.

Para la versi?n en la l?¡nea cibern?etica.

El hambre de fe de los cat?licos sigue creciendo. El papa Benedicto XVI da a la Iglesia el "alimento" que busca en las 598 preguntas y respuestas contenidas en el Compendio del Catecismo de la Iglesia Cat?lica. Este volumen, de 200 pßíginas, ofrece una rßípida sinopsis del contenido esencial de la fe tal como estß promulgado en el Catecismo de la Iglesia Cat?lica. Como el Catecismo de 1992, el Compendio tiene una estructura de cuatro partes, e incluye una secci?n sobre oraciones comunes y f?rmulas doctrinales cat?licas. Gracias al formato de preguntas y respuestas, los l?¡deres catequ?ticos -padres, pßrrocos, maestros, directores y catequistas- tienen la oportunidad singular de dialogar con los fieles, y revigorizar la misi?n permanente de la Iglesia de evangelizar y catequizar. Los individuos pueden llegar a "conocer las insondables riquezas del misterio salv?¡fico de Jesucristo", leyendo, usando y memorizando partes del Compendio del Catecismo. Una herramienta esencial para j?venes y adultos j?venes, el Compendio es el acompa±ante perfecto de la Biblia, lectura espiritual o libro de texto de un joven o adulto joven. Los l?deres catequ?ticos de las escuelas secundarias, universidades y parroquias apreciarßn su versatilidad, como libro de referencia, promotor del debate o recurso central para programas RICA. Catorce imßgenes tomadas de obras maestras del arte cristiano marcan el tono en cada parte o secci?n. "Las imßgenes sagradas, con su belleza, son tambi?n una proclamaci?n del Evangelio y expresan el esplendor de la verdad cat?lica", explic? el papa Benedicto XVI. El Compendio del Catecismo fue preparado por una comisi?n presidida por el entonces cardenal Joseph Ratzinger. Respondiendo al anhelo de una mejor apreciaci?n del Catecismo, y a fin de satisfacer una generalizada necesidad que surgi? durante el Congreso Catequ?tico Internacional del 2002, en el 2003 el Santo Padre estableci? una comisi?n especial, presidida por el prefecto de la Congregaci?n para la Doctrina de la Fe, a la que encarg? preparar un Compendio del Catecismo de la Iglesia Cat?lica, con una versi?n mßs concisa y dialogal del mismo contenido de la fe y moral cat?lica. Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church

Catholics' hunger for the faith continues to grow. Pope Benedict XVI gives the Church the "food" that is seeks in the 598 questions and answers in the Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. This 200-page volume offers a quick synopsis of the essential contents of the faith as promulgated in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Like the 1992 Catechism, the Compendium has a four-part structure, and includes a section on common prayers and Catholic doctrinal formulas. Because of the question-and-answer format, catechetical leaders-parents, pastors, teachers, principals, and catechists-have a unique opportunity to dialogue with the faithful, and reinvigorate the Church's ongoing mission of evangelization and catechesis. Individuals can come "to know the unfathomable riches of the salvific mystery of Jesus Christ" by reading, using, and memorizing parts of the Compendium of the Catechism.

Fourteen images taken from masterpieces of Christian art set a tone for each part or section. "The sacred images, with their beauty, are also a proclamation of the Gospel and express the splendor of the Catholic truth," explained Pope Benedict XVI.

The Compendium of the Catechism was prepared by a commission presided by the then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger. Following the request for greater appreciation of the Catechism, and in order to meet a widespread need that emerged during the 2002 International Catechetical Congress, in 2003 the Holy Father established a special commission, presided by the prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, that he charged with preparing a Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, containing a more concise and dialogic version of the same contents of Catholic faith and morals.
