I’ve been looking around for some helpful liturgical/church calendar resources, and I have a couple to share. I was looking for an iCal Calendar that I could have synced up on my iPhone so I’d know when certain liturgical days were coming up, or so that I could have the lectionary on my phone with me. There have been many folks asking the PC(USA) Twitter folks when we might see a PC(USA) iPhone App with the lectionary and other resources on it – and it may be in the works – but what until then? Here are just a couple resources you might find handy. If you know of others, please share them in the comments section:
- Andy James has put together an iCal that includes the Revised Common Lectionary as well as some other holidays (as told by the Presbyterian Planning Calendar). You can view the calendar here, or you can subscribe to it here.
- You can download a Common Worship Almanac here (HT Makeesha). It has a complete calendar and lectionary “almanac” for the liturgical year beginning on Advent Sunday 2008 and ending on the eve of Advent Sunday 2009. You can preview it here if you’d like.
Does anyone have any other cool resources like these?

Thanks Adam – just what I’ve been looking for :) I used the Revised Common Lectionary iCal one…
Thanks for that. Very useful to have!
My appreciation likewise. The Revised Common Lectionary was exactly what I wanted: identified the number of the Sunday and gives the texts.
I just found a great app called iMissal on iTunes app store that has all this stuff. It is has all of the Mass Readings (NAB version). It states it is using the approved text for US Masses from CCD and ICEL. No WIFI connection needed. As a bonus it has daily bible verses and a full liturgical calendar. It doesn’t have the liturgy of the hours but for $4.99 it is a worth it!
I just bought an iPod Touch. Although the calendar shows up in my desktop iCal, I haven’t been able to get it to show up on my iPod Touch calendar. The “subscribe to it here” link doesn’t work from within the iPod Safari, and I haven’t figured out a way to subscribe from within the iPod iCal.
But again, I appreciate what you have done.
David,
the iphone and ipod touch don’t presently support subscribed calendars. word is that will change with 3.0 coming out this summer.
