INTRODUCTION Each year the Secretariat of Divine Worship of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops publishes the Liturgical Calendar for the Dioceses of the United States of America. This calendar is used by authors of ordines and other liturgical aids published to foster the celebration of the liturgy in our country. The calendar is based upon the General Roman Calendar, promulgated by Pope Saint Paul VI on February , subsequently amended by the Holy See, and the Proper Calendar for the Dioceses of the United States of America, approved by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. This calendar has been updated to reflect the names and titles of the various liturgical days in conformity with the Roman Missal, Third Edition. The General Instruction of the Roman Missal reminds us that in the cycles of readings and prayers proclaimed throughout the year in the sacred liturgy “the mysteries of redemption are celebrated so as to be in some way made present.” Thus may each celebration of the Holy Eucharist which is served by this calendar be for the Church in the United States of America “the high point both of the action by which God sanctifies the world in Christ and of the worship that the human race offers to the Father, adoring him through Christ, the Son of God, in the Holy Spirit.” Sincerely in Christ, Rev. Dustin P. Dought Executive Director USCCB Secretariat of Divine Worship For the significance of the several grades or kinds of celebrations, the norms of the Roman Calendar should be consulted (cf. Liturgy Documentary Series : Norms Governing Liturgical Calendars, Washington, DC: USCC, ). For information concerning the choice of texts and formularies, the General Instruction of the Roman Missal and the Introduction to the revised Lectionary for Mass (cf. Liturgy Documentary Series : Lectionary for Mass, Introduction, Washington, DC: USCC, ) should be consulted. General Instruction of the Roman Missal, third edition, no.

First Sunday of Advent November Ash Wednesday February Easter Sunday April The Ascension of the Lord [Thursday] May Pentecost Sunday May The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ June First Sunday of Advent November

Sunday Cycle YEAR A November to November Weekday Cycle CYCLE January to February May to November Sunday Cycle YEAR B November to November The cycles given above have been used in the preparation of this calendar. The readings from the Proper of Time and Proper of Saints have been used for all Solemnities and Feasts since they must take the place of the weekday readings for those respective days. The readings from the weekday cycle generally are to be used even on days on which a Memorial or Optional Memorial of a Saint occurs. The exceptions to this rule are the Memorials or Optional Memorials which have “proper readings” (usually only the Gospel) assigned to them in the Lectionary for Mass and which must be used on those days. Substitutions from the Commons or Proper of Saints may be made for the other readings suggested for those Memorials or Optional Memorials. The Priest Celebrant, however, should not omit “too often or without sufficient cause the readings assigned for each day in the weekday Lectionary” (Introduction to the Lectionary for Mass, no. ). In this calendar, Optional Memorials are designated by the use of italics within brackets. The Scripture citations and Lectionary numbers for all readings are from the Lectionary for Mass for Use in the Dioceses of the United States of America, second typical edition ( ), and the Lectionary for Mass Supplement ( ), which are based on the Ordo Lectionum Missæ, editio typica altera ( ), as emended. The spellings of the names of Saints and Blesseds are from the Roman Missal, Third Edition ( ), based on the Missale Romanum, editio typica tertia emendata (

Nov. – Jan. Advent, Christmas Vol. I Jan. – Feb. Weeks to Ordinary Time Vol. III Feb. – May Lent, Triduum, Easter Vol. II May – Aug. Weeks to Ordinary Time Vol. III Aug. – Nov. Weeks to Ordinary Time Vol. IV Nov. – Jan. Advent, Christmas Vol. I MISCELLANEOUS NOTES . Scripture citations are based on the New American Bible with the revised New Testament and may differ slightly from the citations given in the Ordo Lectionum Missæ ( ) due to difference in versification. . In the preparation of diocesan and provincial calendars and ordines, the dedication of diocesan cathedrals, the dedication of parish churches, and special days of prayer (cf. General Instruction of the Roman Missal [GIRM], no. ) should be added, along with other commemorations of Saints and Blesseds which are included in those particular calendars. More information is available in the Universal Norms on the Liturgical Year and the Calendar, particularly Chapter II. “On Saturdays in Ordinary Time when no Obligatory Memorial occurs, an Optional Memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary may be celebrated” (Universal Norms on the Liturgical Year and the Calendar, no. ). This is indicated in the calendar by “BVM.” The readings and prayers may be selected from the Common of the Blessed Virgin Mary or Votive Masses of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Roman Missal, or in the Collection of Masses of the Blessed Virgin Mary. . In a decree dated March , the Bishop of Honolulu designated Christmas and the Immaculate Conception as the only two Holydays of Obligation for the State of Hawaii. This implements the indult received from the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments on May , and the subsequent nihil obstat from the National Conference of Catholic Bishops allowing Hawaii to legislate on this matter in accord with the policies of the Episcopal Conference of the Pacific (CEPAC).

. This liturgical calendar has entries for Independence Day and Thanksgiving Day since they are inscribed in the Proper Calendar for the Dioceses of the United States of America, but it does not include other civic holidays commonly celebrated in this country (for example, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Memorial Day, Labor Day, etc.). Respecting these liturgical norms (cf. GIRM, nos. ), the Roman Missal offers appropriate Masses, but this calendar makes no suggestions for those holidays. . The liturgical year begins on the First Sunday of Advent, November . During the year a. Thursday, May , is the Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord in the ecclesiastical provinces of Boston, Hartford, New York, Omaha, and Philadelphia. All other ecclesiastical provinces of the United States of America have transferred this Solemnity to the following Sunday, May ; on Thursday, May , the Feast of Saint Matthias, Apostle, is observed. b. In a notification dated December , of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments (Prot. n. /L), the Obligatory Memorial of the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary becomes an Optional Memorial in years when it conflicts with another Obligatory Memorial. Therefore, Saturday, June is a weekday in Ordinary Time, as well as the Optional Memorials of the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary, of Saint Anthony of Padua, Priest and Doctor of the Church, and of the Blessed Virgin Mary on Saturday. c. Saturday, August , is the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In accord with the complementary norm to canon confirmed for the dioceses of the United States of America, because it is a Saturday, this year the obligation to attend Mass on this date is abrogated.

In any case, the reading from Exodus about the escape through the Red Sea (reading ) should never be omitted.

Las citas de las escrituras en inglés se basan en New American Bible con el Nuevo Testamento revisado y pueden diferir ligeramente de las citas dadas en el Ordo Lectionum Missae ( ) debido a diferencias en la versificación. . En la preparación de los calendarios diocesanos y provinciales y ordines, deben añadirse la dedicación de las catedrales diocesanas, la dedicación de las iglesias parroquiales y los días especiales de oración (cfr. Institución General del Misal Romano [IGMR], n. ), junto con otras conmemoraciones de santos y beatos que se incluyen en esos calendarios particulares. Más información está disponible en las Normas universales sobre el año litúrgico y sobre el calendario, particularmente en el capítulo II. . “Los sábados del Tiempo Ordinario del año en los que no ocurra una memoria obligatoria se puede hacer memoria libre de la Virgen María” (Normas universales sobre el año litúrgico y sobre el calendario, n. ). Esto se indica en el calendario por medio de las siglas “BVM”. Las lecturas y las oraciones pueden ser seleccionadas del Común de la Bienaventurada Virgen María o las Misas votivas de la Bienaventurada Virgen María en el Misal Romano, o en las Misas de la Virgen María, vols. I y II. . En un decreto fechado el de marzo de , el obispo de Honolulú designó la Navidad y la Inmaculada Concepción como las dos únicas fiestas de precepto para el estado de Hawái. Esto implementa el indulto recibido por la Congregación para el Culto Divino y la Disciplina de los Sacramentos el de mayo de , y el posterior nihil obstat de la Conferencia Nacional de Obispos Católicos que permite a Hawái legislar sobre este asunto de acuerdo con las normas de la Conferencia Episcopal del Pacífico (CEPAC).

. Este calendario litúrgico tiene entradas para el Día de la Independencia de los Estados Unidos y el Día de Acción de Gracias, ya que están inscritos en el Calendario propio para las diócesis de los Estados Unidos de América, pero no incluye otros días cívicos festivos comúnmente celebrados en este país (por ejemplo, Día de Martin Luther King Jr., Día de los Caídos, Día del Trabajo, etc.). Respetando estas normas litúrgicas (cfr. IGMR, nn. ), el Misal Romano ofrece misas apropiadas, pero este calendario no hace ninguna recomendación para esas fiestas. . El año litúrgico comienza el primer domingo de Adviento, el de noviembre de Durante el año a. El jueves de mayo es la solemnidad de la Ascensión del Señor en las provincias eclesiásticas de Boston, Hartford, Nueva York, Omaha y Filadelfia. Todas las demás provincias eclesiásticas de los Estados Unidos de América han trasladado esta solemnidad al domingo siguiente, el de mayo; el jueves de mayo se observa la Fiesta de san Matías, apóstol. b. En una notificación fechada el de diciembre de , de la Congregación para el Culto Divino y la Disciplina de los Sacramentos (Prot. n. /L), la memoria obligatoria del Corazón Inmaculado de la Bienaventurada Virgen María se convierte en una memoria libre cuando entra en conflicto con otra memoria obligatoria. Por lo tanto, el sábado de junio es un día de la semana del Tiempo Ordinario, así como las memorias libres del Corazón Inmaculado de la Bienaventurada Virgen María, de san Antonio de Padua, presbítero y doctor de la Iglesia, y de la Bienaventurada Virgen María en sábado. c. El sábado de agosto es la solemnidad de la Asunción de la Bienaventurada Virgen María. De acuerdo con la norma complementaria del canon confirmada para las diócesis de los Estados Unidos de América, porque es sábado, este año se abroga la obligación de asistir a Misa en esta fecha.
