2021 Liturgical Calendar

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 primarily used by authors of ordines and other liturgical aids published to foster the celebration of the liturgy in our country, but may also be used by anyone who purchases or downloads a copy.

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 USCCB and confirmed in 2010 by the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments.

Updated May 18, 2020 to add the Optional Memorial of Saint Faustina Kowalska; updated February 2, 2021 to add the Memorial of Saints Martha, Mary and Lazarus, and the Optional Memorials of Saint Gregory of Narek, Saint John of Avila, and Saint Hildegard of Bingen
