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 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.¡±2
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.
