Catholic accessories for back-to-school

As summer break winds down and school routines return, be sure to keep your faith in the forefront! Here are some of our favorite accessories for this year’s back-to-school season with suggestions on where to find them.

Standing desk crucifix: Sanctify your work and study with a simple reminder of Jesus’ presence in your life. A small standing crucifix is the perfect addition to any desk!

Water bottle: Stay hydrated with a Jesus or Mary-themed stainless steel water bottle that keeps your heart focused on your faith. Add waterproof stickers to your favorite water bottle or travel mug for faithful reminders throughout the day.

Calendar or planner: Keep your planning rooted in the life of the church with a beautifully illustrated liturgical calendar poster that will help you break out of the mundane business of your schedule. Keep younger students organized with a Catholic student planner featuring the 10 Commandments.

Keychains: Keep prayer close with a keychain for your backpack, lunchbox, or car keys. Call on your favorite intercessor whether it’s test day or game day with an adorable Tiny Saints keychain or use this small set of 15 prayers to call on all the heavenly hosts to be with you throughout the day.

Rosary bracelet: Keeping your rosary close by serves not only as a reminder of Our Lady’s protection over your life, but also a gentle reminder to pray it regularly. The soft pastel palette of this Annunciation bracelet is timeless and elegant.

Pocket-sized prayer journal: Keep a tiny notebook in your pocket, purse, or backpack to track prayer intentions, favorite Bible verses, or even those day-to-day moments of awareness of God’s presence in your life. Any small notebook will do, but we love these floral print notebooks.

Daily examen notepad: Don’t get swept away with the hustle and bustle this fall! Use this daily examen notepad for your children or yourself to reflect on the beauty and challenges of daily life.

Bible verse cards: This carefully designed stack of Scripture cards is an effortless way to add some truth and beauty into your new routine. Use as bookmarks, post on your bulletin board, or put in lunchboxes as a special note!

Band-aids: Be prepared for the next boo boo with these adorable “Jesus Heals” adhesive bandages. Stash a few in your car, soccer bag, or locker!

Hair accessories: This 100% silk Divine Mercy-inspired scrunchie or a Marian-inspired bow elevates any outfit while turning your heart back to the Lord. 

A year of Catholic stickers: These calendar stickers cover major feast days and more. Simply add to your favorite calendar, planner, or school agenda and never overlook a feast day again!
