The purpose of the Crusade Calendar is to help you keep track of how many St. Gertrude prayers you say during the Crusade. Once you've printed it, fill in your name on the space provided and keep the calendar somewhere that's easy for you to use it - a table, dresser, desk or anything handy is just fine. Just before you sleep, or throughout the day, you can write the number of St. Gertrude prayers you've said. If you are permitted to, I suggest taping the calendar on the wall by your bed. That will make it easier for you to remember it at the end of each day.

To print off the calendar, you will first need to save it to your computer. It is a PDF file. Simply right-click the 'Download the Crusade Calendar' link and choose "Save Link As..." or "Save Target As..." (or something similar). Once it is on your computer, you can print it from there. (If you need a PDF reader, please let us know. They are free and we can point you to one.)

Please remember - when you print anything from the Catholic Kingdom, PRINT IT ON DRAFT QUALITY. Please conserve your ink by using the LOWEST quality settings on your printer. If you need help, please ask your parents to help you.

And if for some reason you fall behind, or start late, remember that it is NEVER too late to start! As the saying goes, “better late than never.” And don’t lose heart! Ask your Guardian Angel to help you catch up, as it were, and make up for the lost time.
