Catholic Sistas calendar coverLast year Catholic Sistas launched an all-new product to the Catholic planning world–a downloadable and printable calendar for YOU to print. It received such a wonderful response, we are now in year two of offering the academic calendar. I love, love, LOVE mine. I use it every day and it sits to the right of my laptop for easy access to see what’s going on for the day. At $7.50 for the calendar and $3.50 for bundles, you really can’t go wrong. It’s versatile and meets the needs and budgets of many, from those who want to print in black & white and save a few dollars in printing at home, those who want to print in color or who want to spend the extra money and have it printed professionally and bound.

WHAT’S NEW THIS YEAR?

PDFs are fillable using Adobe Acrobat Pro or some other editing program. This is GREAT news for those of you who like to fill in information prior to printing. Perfect for homeschooling mommas!
Print size is not just limited to 8.5 x 11 – you can print two to a page, making the planner 5.5 x 8.5 and perfect for throwing in your purse or diaper bag.
