1962 Missal calendar 1953 The Traditional Latin Mass
The pre-Lent season of Septuagesima begins on Sunday 1 February. Easter falls on Sunday 5 April and Pentecost on Sunday 24 May. There are 60 Sundays after Pentecost, and the 2 Sundays after Epiphany left over in January are kept in November. Advent begins on Sunday 29 November.
Every day links to its Mass, with the propers in Latin and English beside the Ordinary Form of the same day. Read about the four classes of day and how the two calendars differ.
