iCal calendars can be published online, for either public or limited-access viewing. Requirements...

• All parties involved must have iCal software.
• A .Mac account or a WebDAV server. (If your school/parish web site is hosted by the diocese, that is a WebDAV server. Please ask your webmaster to read the WebDAV documentation.)

If your situation does not meet the above criteria, try iCal2Web.
