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.

INTRODUCTION
Each year the Secretariat of Divine Worship of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops
publishes the Liturgical Calendar for the Dioceses of the United States of America. This calendar
is used by authors of ordines and other liturgical aids published to foster the celebration of the
liturgy in our country.
The 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.
The 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.”

Sincerely in Christ,
Rev. Andrew Menke
Executive Director
USCCB Secretariat of Divine Worship

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.

CYCLES — LECTIONARY FOR MASS
Sunday Cycle
YEAR B
Weekday Cycle
CYCLE II
Sunday Cycle
YEAR C
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).

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
7
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.

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.

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.
46
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.
