Dear friends,
For months I have been quietly building something for the year ahead, and today I get to share it with you at last. The 2026–2027 Raising Hearts Planner Collection is here — and this year, there is more to choose from than ever before.
This year's theme: The Church Militant
Every Raising Hearts collection is built around a single thread to carry you through the year. This year, that thread is the story of the Church herself.
Ecclesia Militans — The Barque of Peter walks through the great moments of Catholic history: the battles fought, the councils convened, the apparitions and conversions that changed the world. It is a year of remembering who we are — and Whose we are. A small reminder, every time you open your planner, that you belong to a Church that has weathered every storm and still sails on.
Four planners — yes, four
This year the collection comes in four weekly layouts, so you can choose the one that fits the way you actually live.
Vertical Weekly — cover: Ite ad Ioseph ("Go to Joseph") St. Joseph stands holding the Christ Child and the lily, with Our Lady beside him and the dome of St. Peter's below — the silent guardian declared Patron and Protector of the Universal Church. A fitting cover for the mother who carries her whole household to Joseph's care. This layout lays the day out hour by hour for those who think in time blocks.
Homeschool Style — cover: Our Lady and St. Ildefonsus Our Lady descends among the angels to clothe her faithful defender in a heavenly vestment — a reward for teaching the truth and guarding her honor. Made for the mother forming little souls at home, with generous space to plan lessons alongside the liturgical day.
Horizontal Weekly — cover: Christ the Healer Christ moves among His apostles to lift up the suffering and the poor — the Divine Physician at the heart of His Church's mission of mercy. An open, breathe-easy layout with room to write freely across the week.
Horizontal Weekly with Dashboard — cover: St. Joan of Arc The Maid of Orléans stands in armor at the altar, her standard raised — the soldier-saint who is the Church Militant made visible. This layout adds a weekly dashboard for goals, tasks, meal planning, and a sacrifice tracker, for the mother who likes everything at a glance.
A monthly defense of the Faith
Here is what makes this collection truly its own. Every monthly tab opens with a full-color masterwork depicting one of the great moments the Church fought to defend the Faith — a council convened, a battle won, an apparition that turned the tide — each paired with a verse from the Douay-Rheims Scriptures.
You'll turn to Traditions and find the Council of Trent, which codified the Roman Missal — the very root of your 1962 Mass — beneath the words, "Hold the traditions which you have learned." You'll turn to Motherhood and meet Our Lady of Guadalupe, whose visit converted millions in the New World, beneath the words, "He hath not done in like manner to every nation." Month by month, the whole sweep of Ecclesia Militans unfolds in your hands.

Same prayerful design — simply choose what works for your home.
A planner for the domestic church
These planners were never really about productivity. They're about making a little more room for grace in an ordinary week — for the feast you might have forgotten, the prayer you meant to say, the small act of faithfulness that keeps a home pointed toward Heaven.
May this one help you do exactly that.
Take your time, look through all four, and choose the one that feels like yours.
In the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts, Cathy
