The Catholic Liturgical Calendar has all the Church seasons that are celebrated within the liturgical year broken down so you can plan, worship and celebrate the same as millions of Catholics throughout the world.
The liturgical year serves as the Catholic Church's calendar. It consists of the cycle of liturgical seasons that determine when feast days and other holy days are observed, and which Scripture and Gospel readings are used at Mass. The Church year runs in a circular rhythm that beautifully mimics the seasons in nature. Unlike nature, however, that goes in a seemingly endless circle, the Liturgical year runs in a spiral towards Jesus' promised coming.
Aside from the readings, the liturgical calendar also determines the interior decoration of a Church, the priest's vestment colors, the timing of spiritual seasons and practices such as Lent, and much more. Click on the links to the left to learn more about the Church seasons.
