It conforms to the General Calendar of the Roman Church and to the National Calendar for England. Since the Personal Ordinariate has the privileges of a local Church, the Ordinariate Calendar, like diocesan calendars, has local characteristics. Different degrees of celebration are distinguished by typography. Observances peculiar to the Ordinariate Calendar are inset and printed in blue. With the exception of the feast of the All Saints of England or All Saints of Wales, they are all optional memorials. • SOLEMNITIES On solemnities (BOLD CAPITALS) the Gloria in excelsis and Creed are used at Mass. The Mass propers and the readings (of which there are three) are as appointed for the day. • External solemnity The external solemnity of any feast means the celebration of the feast without an office, for the good of the faithful, either on the day on which the feast is impeded, or on a Sunday when the feast occurs during the week, or on some other established day. This convention is sometimes applied to the celebration of Epiphany, the Ascension, Corpus Christi, and the Sacred Heart, and All Saints. It may also be applied to the feast of a duly constituted principal patron, the anniversary of the dedication of the church in which the Mass is said, the titular feast of the church itself, the titular feast of the order or congregation, the feast of the holy founder of the order or congregation, and solemnities which are celebrated with an especially large attendance by the faithful (of this matter the local ordinary is the judge). • Feasts On feasts (Bold Type or Bold Type), the Gloria in excelsis is used. The Mass propers and the readings (of which there are two) are as appointed for the day. • Obligatory memorials On obligatory memorials (Ordinary Type), the Gloria in excelsis is not used. The Mass propers of the day are used but the readings are often the normal weekday ones. In Lent the collect of the memorial replaces the collect of the Lent weekday but the remainder of the Mass is as for the Lent weekday. • Optional memorials Optional memorials (Italics), where observed, are observed like obligatory ones. Observance of the Optional memorials of the General Calendar remains available to those following the Proper Calendar of the Ordinariate. 5 January 1 The Octave Day of the Nativity of the Lord SOLEMNITY OF MARY, THE HOLY MOTHER OF GOD 2 Sts Basil the Great and Gregory Nazianzen, Bishops and Doctors of the Church 3 The Most Holy Name of Jesus 6 THE EPIPHANY OF THE LORD (The Manifestation of Christ to the Gentiles) 7 St Raymond of Penyafort, Priest 12 In England: St Aelred of Rievaulx, Abbot St Benedict Biscop, Abbot 13 St Hilary, Bishop and Doctor of the Church St Kentigern (Mungo), Bishop 17 St Antony, Abbot 19 In England: St Wulstan, Bishop 20 St Fabian, Pope and Martyr St Sebastian, Martyr 21 St Agnes, Virgin and Martyr 22 St Vincent, Deacon and Martyr 24 St Francis de Sales, Bishop and Doctor of the Church 25 The Conversion of St Paul the Apostle 26 Sts Timothy and Titus, Bishops 27 St Angela Merici, Virgin 28 St Thomas Aquinas, Priest and Doctor of the Church 31 St John Bosco, Priest Sunday after 6 January: The Baptism of the Lord When the Solemnity of the Epiphany is transferred to the Sunday that occurs on 7 or 8 January, the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord is celebrated on the following Monday. 6 February 1 St Brigid of Kildare, Abbess 2 The Presentation of the Lord (Candlemas) 3 St Blaise, Bishop and Martyr St Ansgar, Bishop 4 St Gilbert of Sempringham, Religious 5 St Agatha, Virgin and Martyr 6 St Paul Miki and Companions, Martyrs 8 St Jerome Emiliani St Josephine Bakhita, Virgin 9 In Wales: St Teilo, Bishop 10 St Scholastica, Virgin 11 Our Lady of Lourdes 14 Sts Cyril, Monk, and Methodius, Bishop, Patrons of Europe 17 The Seven Holy Founders of the Servite Order 21 St Peter Damian, Bishop and Doctor of the Church 22 The Chair of St Peter the Apostle 23 St Polycarp, Bishop and Martyr March 1 St David, Bishop, Patron of Wales (IN WALES: SOLEMNITY) 4 St Casimir 5 St Piran, Abbot 7 Sts Perpetua and Felicity, Martyrs 8 St John of God, Religious
