Jesuit Liturgical Calendar

 

The Calendar of the Society of Jesus is the universal calendar of the Catholic Church with additional feasts and saints days proper to the Society of Jesus worldwide. This calendar also includes saints of the church in England and Wales, and in Scotland, and of the British Jesuit Province.

The Jesuit Liturgical Calendar is used in the parishes, schools and houses of the Society of Jesus in England and Wales, and in Scotland.

There are four ranks of liturgical celebration:
S = Solemnity
F = Feast
M = Memorial
OM = Optional Memorial (colour of the day is given; change colour if you celebrate the OM).

A, B, C for Sundays refers to the cycle of readings (Year A, Year B, Year C). In 2019-20, the Sunday readings are from cycle A - the Gospel of St Matthew. In 2020-21, the Sunday readings will be from from cycle B - the Gospel of St Mark.

Weekday readings in 2019-20 are from cycle II, and in 2020-21 from cycle I of the Lectionary.

Optional Memorials and saints days which have been displaced by a Sunday are noted in the right-hand column.

The Jesuit martyrs of England and Wales are collectively celebrated on 1st December. But the individual dates of their martyrdom may also be celebrated and are listed in the right-hand column.
