1962 Missal calendar 1978 The Traditional Latin Mass
The pre-Lent season of Septuagesima begins on Sunday 22 January. Easter falls on Sunday 26 March and Pentecost on Sunday 14 May. There are 61 Sundays after Pentecost, and the 9 Sundays after Epiphany left over in January are kept in November. Advent begins on Sunday 3 December.
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.
