LITURGICAL CALENDAR

for the

YEAR OF OUR LORD 2003

For use with the 1962 Latin Missal

The Liturgical Calendar is a complex mechanism organized by the rubrics of the Magisterium. Organized around the two main Cycles of Christmas and Easter, there are many variants based on conflicts of feast days, local diocesan or order calendars, and local observances. Here we present the celebrations for Sundays and major feasts observed generally throughout the Indult Roman Rite in the United States of America.
