Each month of the year is dedicated to a particular devotion within the Catholic faith; the dedication of each month is based on historical events or a particular aspect of the liturgical calendar, or a combination of the two.

These monthly Catholic devotions do not line up exactly with the time frame of the liturgical calendar, since they are fixed to standard calendar months rather than the Church seasons. Some countries and areas have developed monthly dedications to devotions more specific to their area. It is a traditional Catholic custom to sanctify each month of the year with special devotional practices. Ant the following are the common, widespread Catholic devotions for each month throughout the year.

1. January -- The Holy Name of Jesus
