The Year of Grace 2025 liturgical calendar presents the storytelling art of John McCoy. He illustrates five scenes of Christian hospitality: the ways in which hospitality, through Jesus, is light, warm, and inviting throughout every season, in every space, and every circumstance. Ideal for forming children and catechumens, LTP’s circular display makes key features easily understandable. We can see at a glance the liturgical seasons in their characteristic colours, Sundays on the outer rim, and the days and weeks radiating from the centre.

Hospitality begins with God, through the person of Jesus Christ. Throughout his ministry, Jesus gave of himself to his disciples and his followers, modelling what true hospitality is and inviting them—and us today—to accept these gifts with gratitude. In the centre, Jesus washes the feet of Peter in the upper room. As we move our gaze around the calendar, we see further examples of Christian hospitality: In the upper left, a parish welcomes all members of the Church community with open arms; next, two children showing how they are hospitable to the earth and God’s creation in the upper right; then, in the lower right, a picture of outdoor fun demonstrates that we are all one in Christ; and finally, the welcome of strangers who are vulnerable and in need of care in the lower left. In each depiction, a comforting glow of warmth and light is a reminder that hospitality draws us out of the darkness and into the welcoming radiance of Jesus.

The Year of Grace 2025 calendar follows the Sundays of Year C and the weekdays of Year I in the liturgical cycle, beginning December 1, 2024 (the First Sunday of Advent) and ending Saturday, November 29, 2025 (the last day of the liturgical year).

Use the Year of Grace poster-sized calendar in many ways:

• Give (or sell) laminated copies to households in the parish and school.
• Post one in every classroom, meeting room, and in the church vestibule to teach about the liturgical year.
• Present to first communicants and confirmation candidates in preparation sessions.
