I love this planner! It is so well organized and beautiful. My favorite part are the pictures and prayers before the calendar page of each month. It is such a wonderful way to give yourself daily reminders on how to live your faith!

Personal preference, wondering why the lines were taken off the daily boxes for the 2026-27 mini planner 😢 I didn’t see that before purchasing.
Go back to the layout you had before. This layout for the 2026-2027 academic planner is awful. You removed everything I loved about the previous planners. I need to organize myself and set goals and be able to check them off. I had prayer intentions that I would write out every month. I set goals for my faith, family, and fun and those are all gone. I tracked my period with the little circles for each one. I wrote what I was grateful for each day and what was for dinner each night. I need structure and this has none. If this was the planner you came out with when you first started making planners I would not have bought it again. I have bought the planner every year since you started making planners and I’m very disappointed to have to consider looking for something else in the future because you no longer meet my needs.

Store owner replied: It means a lot that you’ve used the planner for so many years, and we’re truly sorry to hear this year’s layout isn’t meeting your needs in the same way. The way you described using it for your goals, prayer intentions, tracking, and daily rhythms is incredibly helpful, and we’ll be sure to pass this along to our team. We also want you to know that we’re planning to bring back a lot of what you loved from the previous layouts in next year’s planner. We’re so grateful for your continued support, and we’re really sorry this version felt like a step away from what you loved. 💜
I really want to love this planner, but for the price, I am disappointed. For a planner that is designed with liturgical living in mind, the typo on the list of Holy Days of Obligation for the Immaculate Conception is pretty big to me. It is marked as being no Mass obligation due to being on a Saturday while clearly stating it is on a Tuesday. I also was disappointed to find April’s picture is cut off causing the verse reference to be missing. I also wish they would have left the built in daily prayer checklist, which really works to encourage me in my prayer life. Additionally, I think the cover feels cheap compared to my previous Blessed is She planner, and I worry it won’t hold through the year. Overall, for the price of this planner, I expected better quality and closer attention to detail that I usually see from this company.

I grew up (from Elementary School thru College) using paper planners. Later, somewhere during my short stint in Corporate America, I decided that my phone's calendar could better help me plan it all (w/time-based reminders! and w/o the added bulk!) so I gave up on those handy dandy paper planners. Then I got married, left Corporate America, became a mom, and... still relied significantly on my phone's calendar. I bought several paper planners through the years thinking "one day" I'll get back on that bandwagon, but it wasn't until our first year homeschooling that a physical homeschooling planner helped me way more than something digital ever could. (Not to mention, I don't like using screens during our homeschool.) In looking for a new planner I'd for sure commit to use as my Wife/Mom/Homemaking daily driver (because random lists here and there weren't cutting it!) the BiS planner kept popping up and I finally got it. I picked a Mini because I don't plan out my day by the hour. I really like all the neat little Extras that don't waste space. I'll get the spiral bound next time b/c I prefer keeping my planner open. My phone use and my notifications have decreased and I adore being able to keep my daily to-dos all organized in one place. (I still use a separate planner for my homeschool, though, and I wouldn't change a thing.)
Quality
This planner helps me list out my to dos and keeps me accountable for spiritual and daily life!
There is soo much in this planner that even most non catholic planners do not have, it truly is great! There is more extra useful things I wasn't aware of that it contains, and everything is organized nicely! I usually find delivery fees as an annoyance, but it was definitely worth it because not only was it inexpensive, but very fast delivery and shipment. I look forward to using the planner, and shopping on here again :)
I love the layout, the intentional space for organizing your day, and the spiritual encouragement and prompts. It’s very beautiful and the size is perfect.
This planner fits my spiritual needs perfectly! And I love its portability- I can bring it with me to the office, to Mass, and anywhere else in between.
I love it.🥰🥹
Love this. I work at a school and this will help me keep me organized with all my events.
Love this planner! This is my fourth, I think…it’s like getting a new pair of sneakers! Comfy, clean, and a perfect fit!
I LOVE these planners! One year, I didn’t get one and I missed having the Bible verses, feast day reminders, and monthly prayer prompts. These planners are perfect for organizing your life in a simplified, yet intentional way. I’m never not buying one again!
I love learning more about the saints and taking time to focus and stay more connected to my catholic faith. I love the mini layout with the check boxes. I use one side for appointments and events and the other for my to do list. .
I love the format, content and art work. I use it every day.
This great little planner gives you the opportunity each day to be grounded in God's word and the teachings of our faith.
Absolutely love this planner! Helps me to jot down quick notes, and stay organized with family life and church life 🤍
This gorgeous journal was purchased for me by a very dear friend. I absolutely love the quality of both the binding and of the paper. I highly recommend it! I will definitely be buying my own journal next year!!
Catholic Academic Liturgical Planner // Mini Layout **PRE-ORDER**
Store owner replied: Thank you for your purchase! We are so happy you love it!
I love my Planner 🥰 I have learned so much, just from the first few pages! I only prayed the Rosary when I was in Catholic school. I would like to develop a habit of praying the Rosary weekly. Thank you so much, Blessed I She, God Bless 🙏🏻
Catholic Academic Liturgical Planner // Mini Layout **PRE-ORDER**
I absolutely love these liturgical planners! This is the fifth planner I've bought. I have bought the big spiral planner in the past but I prefer the mini as it takes up less space in my work bag. It's helpful to have all the liturgical feasts days, saints, liturgical colors for each day, novena start days, holy days of obligation and much more. I love how they improve and expand their products each year, like how this year's they made the pen holder bigger so my pen fits through it as compared to last year's where it didn't. I highly recommend it!
I recently just got engaged as a catholic college student, and I was looking for a planner that would help me better incorporate my prayer life into my day-to-day routine as I go through this busy time in my life. I think that this planner will help me do just that!
Catholic Academic Liturgical Planner // Mini Layout **PRE-ORDER**
Store owner replied: How exciting! Hope you enjoy it and get so much use out of it!
Second year with this planner! No, I don’t take advantage of every feature, but it keeps me grounded in my daily responsibilities with the constant reminder of WHO is really in charge. Really love it!
I have bought the smaller one this time...the bigger one was useful but too heavy. Liturgical calendar is wonderful and makes me learn a little about each season and saints.
Love!!!
Love these!
I will not be ordering this planner because the layout for each day has been changed. Missing the daily to do lines, supper plan, etc.
Catholic Academic Planner 2026–2027 | Mini Layout
Store owner replied: Thanks so much for sharing this feedback! We’ve heard from many women who miss the daily to-do lines, meal planning space, and other features from the previous layout. We’ve been listening, and we’re bringing many of those beloved features back in next year’s planner!
Beautiful planner. Put together well and makes keeping track of my schedule easy.
I’m really missing the format of the last few years, with pre-written checkboxes & lines. May have to switch to a different planner. The large format with hourly checkboxes is a bit too much, but this year’s version is too unstructured for me.
I have had this planner for the last several years and it has suited me so well! I have to say that I do not like the changes. Specifically: the two columns for each day and the page at the beginning of each month for goals as well as notes. I put all of my prayer intentions for the month in that notes section. I think this one will grow on me, but wanted to share what I loved about the previous planner.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this planner! This is the second year I have ordered one. They are more than I usually allow myself to spend, but I have found that they are worth it. The academic works so mich better for me than a traditional Jan-Dec format.
This is my second planner from BIS and I cannot imagine a year without one now! I especially love the prayers at the front of the planner, and find this to be a perfect daily reminder to center my day around my faith.
Love the size and the format. So beautiful presented. Eager to start using it.
I like everything. Cant til I can use it.
I really like this company and have purchased from them for 3 years for this planner. Good quality and beautiful product.
The changes may work for some, but will keep me from buying again. I should have read about the changes. I wrongly assumed I’d be getting a similar product to those I bought in the past. I dislike the week starting on Sunday. I know Sunday starts a week, but breaking up a weekend in a family calendar does not work for my family. I need to see the whole weekend at once. I was disappointed to see the academic one is 12 months and not 13. That was a huge help before. I use the academic one as it makes the most sense with my kids lives and my working in a school. Taking away the daily prayer tracker makes it like any other calendar. The quotes are nice, but I want my Catholic calendar to help my Catholic prayer life. Next year I will just order a regular non Catholic calendar and add my own Catholic stickers. This new format may work for some, but at this price point I want the perfect planner (which last years was pretty close too). I’m sad as I really liked the product in the past.
I love the layout!
I’ve always loved planners and, as a ministry member, having a liturgical calendar will help me keep important dates at the top of my priorities. The paper is nice and thick and is organized really well. I love the elastic closure.
I love the prayers, I love the start of the novena!! Can't wait to use this!!!
I am very happy with this planner. I like everything about it. It has a place for me to keep track of notes, dinner plans, and prayers. I especially love the monthly prayers and that the daily saints and feast days are noted.
