Traditional Catholic Calendar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article lists the feast days of the General Roman Calendar as it was immediately before the reforms of 1955-1962, which suppressed certain feast days and reduced them from six classes to three. Thus, the most recent feasts included are those instituted in 1955: Saint Joseph the Worker, assigned to 1 May (to make way for which the feast of the Apostles Philip and James was moved from 1 May, where it had been since the sixth century, to 11 May) and that of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen, assigned to 31 May (as a result of which that of Saint Angela Merici was moved to 1 June).

This calendar, or, more commonly, the further reform of 1962, is still used by some Catholics.

For the General Roman Calendar as revised in 1979 and with the celebrations of saints such as Martin de Porres, Maximilian Kolbe and Pio of Pietrelcina that have since been added, see Roman Catholic calendar of saints.

Though for most of the celebrations here listed the Mass is found in the section of the Roman Missal called the "Proper of the Saints", those occurring from December 24 to January 13 are found the "Proper of the Season".

The various abbreviations are as follows:
Ap: Apostle
Bp: Bishop
C: Confessor
D: Doctor
Ev: Evangelist
M: Martyr
P: Pope
Pr: Priest
V: Virgin
W: Widow
