Inspired by stained-glass windows, the logo for the 2022–2025 National Eucharistic Revival depicts a stylized Eucharist (chalice and host). The host doubles as a rising sun that is radiating light, embodying our hope for the dawn of a new day in the Church as the Revival opens hearts to Christ’s healing presence. The Tenth National Eucharistic Congress will be held in Indianapolis on July 21-24, 2024.

1 For the significance of the several grades or kinds of celebrations, the norms of the 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.

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. 83). 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 (1998/2001), and the Lectionary for Mass Supplement (2017), which are based on the Ordo Lectionum Missæ, editio typica altera (1981), as emended. The spellings of the names of Saints and Blesseds are from the Roman Missal, Third Edition (2011), based on the Missale Romanum, editio typica tertia emendata (2008).
LITURGY OF THE HOURS
MISCELLANEOUS NOTES
1. 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 Missae (1981) due to difference in versification.
2. 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. 373) 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.
3. “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. 15). 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.
4. In a decree dated March 23, 1992, 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 26, 1990, 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).
5. 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. 368-378), the Roman Missal offers appropriate Masses, but this calendar makes no suggestions for those holidays.
6. The 2024 liturgical year begins on the First Sunday of Advent, December 3, 2023. During the year 2024:
a. Monday, January 1, is the Solemnity of Mary, the Holy Mother of God. This year, the obligation to attend Mass on this date is abrogated, in accord with the complementary norm to canon 1246 §2 confirmed for the dioceses of the United States of America.
b. The Feast of the Baptism of the Lord is celebrated on Monday, January 8, with only one reading before the Gospel. When this Feast occurs on Monday of the First Week in Ordinary Time, the readings assigned to Monday may be joined to those of Tuesday so that the opening of each book will be read.
c. Since March 25 is the Monday of Holy Week, the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord is transferred to Monday, April 8.
d. Thursday, May 9, 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 12; on Thursday, May 9, the Easter Weekday is observed.
e. Since December 8, 2024 is the Second Sunday of Advent, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary is transferred to Monday, December 9. The obligation to attend Mass, however, does not transfer. The Optional Memorial of Saint Juan Diego Cuauhtlatoatzin, December 9, is omitted this year.

9 Nine readings are assigned to the Easter Vigil: seven from the Old Testament and two from the New. If circumstances demand in individual cases, the number of prescribed readings may be reduced. Three selections from the Old Testament, both from the Law and the Prophets, should be read before the Epistle and Gospel. In any case, the reading from Exodus about the escape through the Red Sea (reading 3) should never be omitted.
10 Although not given the title of Solemnity, “[t]he first eight days of Easter Time constitute the Octave of Easter and are celebrated as Solemnities of the Lord” (Universal Norms on the Liturgical Year and the Calendar, no. 24).

APPENDIX / APÉNDICE
For the benefit of those who prepare Spanish-language liturgical calendars and ordines, the following sections of the Liturgical Calendar are presented here in Spanish: Miscellaneous Notes, Proper Calendar for the Dioceses of the United States of America, and the titles of the liturgical days, as given in the U.S. edition of the Misal Romano, Tercera Edición (2018).
Para el beneficio de aquellos que preparan calendarios litúrgicos y ordines en español, las siguientes secciones del Liturgical Calendar se presentan aquí en español: Notas misceláneas, Calendario propio para las diócesis de los Estados Unidos de América y los títulos de los días litúrgicos, según se ofrece en la edición estadounidense del Misal Romano, Tercera Edición (2018).
MISCELLANEOUS NOTES / NOTAS MISCELÁNEAS
1. 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 (1981) debido a diferencias en la versificación.
2. 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. 373), 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.
3. “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. 15). 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.
4. En un decreto fechado el 23 de marzo de 1992, 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 26 de mayo de 1990, 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).
5. 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. 368-378), el Misal Romano ofrece misas apropiadas, pero este calendario no hace ninguna recomendación para esas fiestas.
6. El año litúrgico 2024 comienza el primer domingo de Adviento, el 3 de diciembre de 2023. Durante el año 2024:
a. El lunes 1º de enero es la solemnidad de Santa María, Madre de Dios. Este año, se deroga la obligación de asistir a misa en esta fecha, de acuerdo con la norma complementaria al canon 1246 §2 confirmado para las diócesis de los Estados Unidos de América.
b. La fiesta del Bautismo del Señor se celebra el lunes 8 de enero, con una sola lectura antes del Evangelio. Cuando esta fiesta se realiza el lunes de la primera semana del Tiempo Ordinario, las lecturas asignadas al lunes podrán unirse a las del martes para que se lea el principio de cada libro.
c. Dado que el 25 de marzo es el Lunes Santo este año, la solemnidad de la Anunciación del Señor se traslada al lunes 8 de abril.
d. El jueves 9 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 12 de mayo; el jueves 9 de mayo se observa el día de la semana de Pascua.
e. Dado que el 8 de diciembre de 2024 es el segundo domingo de Adviento, la solemnidad de la Inmaculada Concepción de la Bienaventurada Virgen María se traslada al lunes 9 de diciembre. Sin embargo, la obligación de asistir a misa no cambia. Se omite este año la memoria libre de san Juan Diego Cuauhtlatoatzin, el 9 de diciembre.
