NOVEMBER 2026 CALENDAR

     The November calendar has been posted.  We encourage you to notice and appreciate the richness of the meaningful liturgy of the pre-1955 liturgical celebrations, its clarity and encompassing way of presenting –through the hands of the priest– our prayers to the Lord, in unity with all the traditional intentions and orations the Holy Mother Church instructs us to recall in all Masses of the month.  The pre-Bugnini liturgy is, without doubt, the best and most coherent way of defending our traditional Catholic faith in the present time.

     This last month of the liturgical year is dedicated to the relief of the Holy Souls in Purgatory.  The month begins with the continuation of Hallowtide, that began with the Vigil of All Saints (Oct. 31), and is followed by the Solemnity of All Saints and its octave (Nov. 1-8), and All Souls Day (Nov. 2).  The Solemnity of All Saints falls on the 23rd Sunday after Pentecost this year, so on November 1st, the Sunday Mass is commemorated.   The month ends with the First Sunday of Advent on Nov. 29 and is followed by the Feast of the Apostle Andrew on Monday, Nov. 30.  The Vigil of St. Andrew is anticipated on Saturday, Nov. 28 this year because it is never celebrated on a Sunday.

     Most holy Mary is honored in a special way on the 21st, with the Presentation of the Blessed Virgen Mary, e Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal on 27th.

     Also during this month, the Society of the Most Holy Redeemer remembers the Redemptorist Martyrs of Cuenca, Spain (Nov. 6) and the Founding of the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer (Nov. 9).

    Finally, during this month, the Society of the Most Holy Redeemer remembers the Holy Souls in Purgatory by praying a 31-day Novena, beginning on the Vigil of All Saints and continuing through the entire month of November.  And the Society prepares for the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception (Dec. 8) by beginning a novena on the 29th of November; and for Christmas with the “St. Andrew Novena” starting on November 30.
