St. Anne's Audio Catechism for Confirmation teaches the Catholic Holy Days of Obligation in the USA. St. Anne's Catechism Copybooks also reinforce learning the answers. They use the copybook method to improve memorization, penmanship, reading and spelling!
The Roman Catholic calendar names the Catholic Holy Days of Obligation as well as the Catholic saints names to use for Baptism or Confirmation. It frequently has a separate list of patron saints, as well. Knowing the specific patron saint is handy for special dedications or gifts. The Catholic Encyclopedia or Butler's Lives of the Saints (not Attwater's rewrite) are great resources, too.
The Catholic Missal prayers, readings, and thoughts for the day are usually placed in the Catholic liturgical calendar according to the anniversary date of the saint's death. Newly canonized saints can be found on calendars that use the new liturgical year. TAN Books has a calendar that lists both the traditional Catholic calendar and the new!
