ORDO – LITURGICAL CALENDAR 2025

Description

The ORDO, or Liturgical Calendar, is an essential tool for bishops, priests, deacons, religious, parish staff and volunteers, liturgy committees, and school staff. The ORDO provides detailed information for each day of the Liturgical Year which begins the First Sunday of Advent and ends with the 34^th Week in Ordinary time and includes references to the Roman Missal, the Lectionary (for Sundays and Solemnities, Weekdays, and Ritual Masses, Masses for Various Needs and Occasions, Votive Masses, Masses for the Dead) the Liturgy of the Hours, and the Book of Gospels.

Explanations of the National Collections, the Proper Calendar for the Dioceses of Canada, special dates for planning in 2025 and a Table of Moveable Dates are also included.

To reduce costs and environmental impact, the pastoral and explanatory notes are found online on the CCCB website.These notes offer positive, practical and pastoral ideas and suggestions for the liturgy.
