Catholic Saints Calendar Plus

Getting to know the saints is one of the quiet joys of Catholic life, and a daily reminder of whose feast it is can grow into real friendship with them over time. Catholic Saints Calendar Plus is a saints calendar with depth. Each day shows the saints of the Church's calendar, and you can read about their lives, patronages and feast days rather than just seeing a name. It is the paid edition from developer Martin Vcelak.

What you get

There is more content here than in the free saint-of-the-day apps, and it is clearly the work of someone who cares about getting the saints right. It is well loved, with a 4.8 rating from more than 700 users. The price is a one-time $9.99 rather than a subscription, and it runs on iPhone and iPad.

Things to weigh

This Plus edition hasn't been updated since 2023, while the developer's free Catholic Saints Calendar was updated in 2026 and offers optional subscriptions instead. If you want the most actively maintained version, compare the two before buying. The Plus app is also a large download at about 446 MB.

Whether it is worth $9.99 depends on how much you'll use it. If you just want the saint's name each morning, a free app will do. If you want to read about the saints day by day, or you teach the faith and want a good reference, the extra depth earns its price.

It suits catechists planning lessons around feast days, parents looking for patron saints for their children, Confirmation candidates exploring names, and anyone who loves the saints. Families might read the day's entry together at breakfast.

The verdict: Catholic Saints Calendar Plus is a solid buy for anyone serious about learning the saints, with real depth and strong ratings. Just weigh its age against the developer's more recently updated free version.
