The January calendar has been reposted. The calendar graphic has been updated to account for two Sunday liturgies that are celebrated on weekdays this year. The first one – Sunday in the Octave of Epiphany – is commemorated on Sunday, January 11, the Feast of the Holy Family, but the full Mass is celebrated a day later, on Monday, Jan. 12. The second Sunday liturgy – the 4th Sunday after Epiphany – is anticipated on Saturday, January 31, the day before Septuagesima season begins.
A few other liturgical points to note: on two Sundays – the Feast of the Holy Family and the Second Sunday after Epiphany – there are 3 commemorations, instead of the usual 2. And on two Sundays – the Second and Third Sundays after Epiphany – the Last Gospel is that of the concurrent Feast Day: The Chair of St. Peter at Rome and The Conversion of St. Paul, respectively. These feasts are of the Double Major rank and have their proper Gospel read as part of the commemoration.
