I have been exploring and playing with google calendar and I love it. I wondered if anyone has, or knows of, a google calendar with Saints' Days on it, and wants to share??? I found a public "christian calendar" but it is reformation oriented so doesn't have the exact days I want (tho protestant I am no big fan of the reformation, seeing it as rather a sad thing than a holiday!!)

Angela, I'd love to help as I have *several* Catholic liturgical calendars on my Google calendar -- I *know* I imported them from a search but now I can't figure out where Google put them -- the screens look like they've been totally changed! I do a search for "Catholic liturigcal" or "Catholic saints" and all I get are individual date results, not the link for the calendars themselves...
maybe do a search on calendar.google.com and see what you get that way? I'm pretty sure that's how I found them!

thanks for the idea, I didn't know I could do a search on "calendar" (I had done a reg. google search). I'll try it!

Did you ever find this? I am just looking at Google Calendar for the first time. It might be a good find for me, but I can't use it if I have to go and type in all the Catholic feasts myself. I don't have that kind of energy and perseverance 
God bless,
Christine

I've got the links, including one that I started... but, no time right now, have to leave in a few minutes. I'll be back later!

Last night I just figured out how to do google calendar!!! Yeah me!! If I can do this anyone can! Believe me!
About the google calendar for Holy Days, I searched and searched last night and I ended up FOR NOW just using the public calendar, Christian Holidays, which have a lot of the Catholic Feasts in them and I renamed it Liturgical Year.
So I can't wait for the links, Stefoodie. Thank you in advance!
Jill

It's been a while since I opened my google calendar, and I realized I have two liturgical calendars:
I'm not sure how to share the links:
US Roman Catholic Dates of Importance (Calendar ID: citfqr91p0sheqdden5c6oa5d4@group.calendar.google.com)
Catholic Saints (Calendar ID: ihermit.cowpi@gmail.com)
I don't like that it doesn't show the type of feast, nor does it show the seasons.
Apparently ihermit@cowpi.com has two other calendars, Catholic Saints 2 and Liturgical, but I can't figure out how to find them.
I had a nice calendar set up to repeat in Outlook. It was easy to edit, and I see there is a place to import outlook calendars. That might be a way to add your feasts.

I found some other sources:
This is Stef's old post which gives links to public iCal's that can be downloaded to Google Calendar.
Universalis has a calendar which is really nice, includes the weeks in Ordinary time and the other liturgical seasons. Scroll down at the bottom of the page and click on the "Add to Google Calendar" button.
Finally, I found a fabulous calendar that includes the liturgical readings and everything such as liturgical color, type of feast, etc. if you click on the alert for the day. It's exactly what I wanted, but it won't work. The downside: it's the Church of England calendar.

Thanks, Jenn! I was just going to go look for that old post of mine. I'm soooo happy Universalis finally did that.

Oops I just post on the other thread regarding this same issue.
I know you can import your MS Outlook calendar to Google, however I dont think it is possible to make recurring events. Pls let me know if you find a way to do it!!

It worked, it worked, it worked!!!
THANK YOU, ALL OF YOU, for the suggestions and help!!! The Universalis site is quite impressive. I hope to explore it more soon. As for my calendar, I'm still determining if I want a computer-based calendar or if I'm going to keep up very large kitchen calendar (my brain) or combine the two somehow.
God bless,
Christine

I do both by printing a month and a week view and posting those ... because each calendar is color coded the kids know which color to look for when they need to know what's going on and I can add hand-written notes and then update my calendar later that evening or the next day ....

Hmmmm...I'd have to highlight them, though, or something like that...we only have a black and white printer. I do like my big calendar with big boxes to write all our crazy to-do's so that they are legible from the phone 
That said, I do like the little pages to take with me to meetings, planning sessions, etc. so I'm not lugging around my huge calendar and trying to write as it is across my lap and the person next to me
I'm just trying to find balance. And I'm trying to be realistic. Will I sync two calendars? Probably not. Do I need to be on the computer any more than I am? Definitely not. Dh, would probably like the online calendar, because he could put it on his phone. Decisions, decisions...
All this as I'm trying to plan our next year and get my notification forms in on time...
God bless,
Christine

I can't believe I am only now doing this!
I also found a liturgical calendar at my diocesan website that shows the liturgical colours and readings for the day.

Erin, you're ahead of me! I keep thinking I ought to do the Google calendar, but I'm still strictly pencil and paper...I have this irrational fear that my computer will crash and I'll have no idea what I'm supposed to do or where I'm supposed to go...technophobia!
