SEE UPDATED INFO ON PAGE 2

I came across what looks to be a good planner for the 2012-13 school year. It includes various feasts and other texts, all from Tradtional sources (follows the St. Andrew Daily Missal from 1945). It's designed for homeschool planning, but the month-at-a-glance pages would be useful for anyone. The best thing is that you can download the entire planner for free. They also sell a printed and bound copy for $21.95 + $5.15 shipping in the US.

It looks like there are some other useful Catholic homeschooling resources on their site as well:

I've been using this book called Chats with Gods little ones with my 5 year old.
I think its very good. Anyone else have any experience with Our Lady of Victrory Homeschool.

For the lower grades they have some real gems, Art-Literature, Nature Series, and Catholic National Reader. I use their older grades now.

I'm considering ordering their first penmanship books (we're heading into first grade and I'm thinking we'll go ahead and move on to cursive) as well as the Chats with God's Little Ones. I recently received their catalog, so I'll have to take a look at the other things Tiffany mentioned before placing an order. : )

I love that they have a meal plan in there. Multi-tasking at its finest. :)

This planner is once again available for sale from All the Saints & Peter and Paul. Unfortunately, the electronic version is no longer free, but it can be downloaded for $6 which isn't bad if you need a liturgical calendar. What has me scrathing my head is that they took the "fasting fish" off the calendar and gave you a sheet of fish stickers instead. Keeping track of Ember Days is one of the main reasons I need a liturgical calendar, but this one I'd have to mark myself ahead of time. And, I guess with the e-version, you'd have to draw your own fish??

Otherwise, it looks like a pretty good resource. I used a web-based planner for our homeschool work this year and am looking for something else for next year since the internet one was too glitchy for my liking. This puts school work and feast days side-by-side so it's easy to follow along with the Church year as I work up school and menu plans.

If you have older students, they now also offer student planners and if you're not into homeschooling at all, there will be a regular day planner available for sale this winter.

There are also chances to win some Catholic books and things including this planner going on this week on the Sanctus Simplicitus blog, but you'll have to hurry as it looks like they end today!
