This calendar is used by authors ofordines and other liturgical aids published to foster the celebration of the liturgy in our country.  \nThe calendar is based upon the General Roman Calendar, promulgated by Pope Saint Paul VI on February 14, 1969, 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.1 This calendar has been updated to reflect the names and titles of the various liturgical days in conformity with the Roman Missal, Third Edition.  \nThe 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.”2  \nSincerely in Christ,  \nRev. Dustin P. Dought Executive Director  \nUSCCB Secretariat of Divine Worship  \n1 For the significance of the several grades or kinds of celebrations, the norms ofthe Roman Calendar should be consulted (cf. Liturgy Documentary Series 6: Norms Governing Liturgical Calendars, Washington, DC: USCC, 1984) . For information concerning the choice of texts and formularies, the General Instruction of the Roman Missal and the Introduction to the 1998 revised Lectionary for Mass (cf. Liturgy Documentary Series 1: Lectionary for Mass, Introduction, Washington, DC: USCC, 1998) should be consulted.  \n2 General Instruction of the Roman Missal, third edition, no. 16.  \nPRINCIPAL CELEBRATIONSOFTHE LITURGICAL YEAR 2026  \n\n| First Sunday of Advent | November 30, 2025 |\n| --- | --- |\n| Ash Wednesday | February 18, 2026 |\n| Easter Sunday | April 5, 2026 |\n| The Ascension of the Lord [Thursday] | May 14, 2026 |\n| Pentecost Sunday | May 24, 2026 |\n| The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ | June 7, 2026 |\n| First Sunday of Advent | November 29, 2026 |\n\nCYCLES—LECTIONARY FOR MASS  \n\n| Sunday Cycle | YEAR A | November 30, 2025 to November 22, 2026 |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Weekday Cycle | CYCLE 2 | January 12 to February 17, 2026\u003Cbr>May 25 to November 28, 2026 |\n| Sunday Cycle | YEAR B | November 29, 2026 to November 21, 2027 |\n\nThe 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.
