INTRODUCTION 

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 

Omnia autem honeste et secundum ordinem fiant. 1 Cor. 14, 40. 

This liturgical calendar, together with these introductory notes, has been compiled in 

accordance with the Motu Proprio Rubricarum Instructum issued by Pope B John XXIII on 

25th July 1960, the Roman Breviary of 1961 and the Roman Missal of 1962. 

For the universal calendar that to be found at the beginning of the Roman Breviary 

and Missal has been used. For the diocesan calendars no such straightforward procedure 

is possible. The decree of the Sacred Congregation of Rites of 26th July 1960 at paragraph 

(6) required all diocesan calendars to conform with the new rubrics and be approved by that 

Congregation. 

The diocesan calendars in use on 1st January 1961 (the date set for the new rubrics 

to come into force) were substantially those previously in use but with varying adjustments 

and presumably as yet to re-approved. Indeed those calendars in use immediately prior to 

that date were by no means identical to those previously approved by the Congregation, 

since there had been various changes to the rubrics made by Pope Pius XII. Hence it is not 

a simple matter to ascertain in complete and exact detail the classifications and dates of all 

diocesan feasts as they were, or should have been, observed at 1st January 1961. The 

solution adopted has been to use the latest available Roman Missal that includes as a 

supplement all the diocesan calendars for England and Wales (Imprimatur 1949). The 

dates and classifications of the feasts from this supplement have been compared with three 

further sources: firstly the diocesan year books, secondly a variety of layman's missals and 

thirdly previous editions of this liturgical calendar. 

The year books have been considered the most reliable of the additional sources, as 

evidencing the actual practice of the dioceses concerned. Unfortunately, however, only 

those for Westminster, Southwark, Brentwood and Birmingham have been available to 

date. As far as layman’s missals are concerned there is unfortunately some lack of 

unanimity between those consulted. However, in any case, no change has been made to 

the dates and classifications of feasts found in previous editions of this calendar except 

where new information has been forthcoming or where another date or classification seems 

more probable. 

Four dioceses have been created since 1962 and for these there exist no 

appropriate calendars. To provide calendars for the dioceses of Arundel and Brighton, East 

Anglia and Wrexham, the calendars of Southwark, Northampton and Menevia (from whose 

territory respectively the new dioceses were created) have been adopted with changes 

where appropriate. To provide a calendar for the diocese of Hallam, which was created 

from territory taken both from Leeds and Nottingham, only those Feasts which are common 

to both have been adopted, again with changes where appropriate.

INTRODUCTION 

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 

The notes on External Solemnities have been rewritten to take account of the 

Bishops of England and Wales’ request that Holydays of Obligation be held in common 

between the Old and New Rites. 

I would like, once again, to thank William Tomlinson for providing me with valuable 

assistance in the preparation of the Ordo, as also James Murphy in the LMS office, Bernard 

Martin and William Longland. Together we have tried to make this liturgical calendar as 

accurate and useful as possible, however any remaining mistakes are mine alone. 

Suggestions or comments on the contents of this or any future editions are welcome.

LITURGICAL NOTES 

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 

Changes in the 1962 Missal 

At a High Mass the celebrant no longer reads the Epistle and Gospel (or any other lesson) 

but listens while these are sung; seated at the sedilia for the Epistle (or any other lesson), 

standing at the altar as previously for the Gospel. 

At a Sung Mass where incense is used the Celebrant is no longer censed after he has sung 

the Gospel. Otherwise the censings are made as at High Mass. 

The Confiteor is no longer said immediately before the people’s Communion and hence the 

Celebrant does not say Misereatur and Indulgentiam. 

Benedicamus Domino will not now normally occur, being restricted to the evening Mass on 

Holy Thursday, Mass on Corpus Christi when followed by the procession and Mass on the 

opening and closing days of the Quarant’ore. On all other occasions, excepting Requiems, 

Ite Missa est is now said. 

(Ritus Servandus in Celebratione Missae VI 4, 5,8. XII 4) 

Sacred Music 

During High or Sung Mass nothing may be sung in the vernacular. 

If the Sanctus and Benedictus are sung in plainsong they are chanted without a break 

between them, otherwise the Benedictus is to be sung after the Consecration. 

During the Consecration all singing must cease, nor may the organ (or any other musical 

instrument) be played. 

The Communion antiphon is sung as the Celebrant distributes Holy Communion. If anything 

else is sung it is to follow the Communion antiphon. 

(De Sacra Musica - Instruction of the Sacred Congregation of Rites on Sacred Music and 

Liturgy 3rd September 1958)

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 

Votive Mass for an External Solemnity 

By this term is meant the celebration of the Mass of a feast without its Office when, for the 

good of the faithful, it is celebrated on a Sunday or some other day. 

These feasts include the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, the BVM of the Rosary, the 

Purification of the BVM, principal Patrons, anniversary of the dedication and titular of a 

church, the titular or canonised founder of an order or congregation together with other 

feasts celebrated by a special gathering of the faithful. 

Unless otherwise determined this Mass may be celebrated on the Sunday before or after 

the feast or some other day or even on the day itself where the feast is impeded by the 

rubrics. 

Normally only 2 Low Masses, or 1 Low and 1 High or Sung Mass, are allowed. An External 

Solemnity may not be celebrated on a 1 st Class Sunday or 1 st Class feast. 

(General Rubrics of Missal 356-361) 

External Solemnity of the Sacred Heart 

Gloria, Creed, Preface of the Sacred Heart. If celebrated on a Sunday no commemoration 

of the Sunday. 

External Solemnity of the BVM of the Rosary 

Gloria, Creed, Preface of the BVM (et te in Veneratione), commemoration of the Sunday. 

The Introit Gaudeamus is replaced by Salve from the Common of Feasts of BVM. This 

Mass may only be celebrated on 1 st Sunday of October. 

External Solemnity of a Holyday of Obligation in England and Wales 

The Bishops of England and Wales have requested that any Holyday of Obligation in 

England and Wales that is transferred to a Sunday in the New Rite (the Ordinary Form of 

the Roman Rite) should likewise be celebrated on that same day in the Old Rite (the 

Extraordinary Form). See Appendices 1 and 2.

Blessed Sacrament is held, Mass of the Blessed Sacrament may be celebrated as a Votive 

Mass of 2nd Class. Gloria, no Sequence, no Creed, Common Preface. (On the Sunday 

with Gloria and Creed, Preface of the Holy Trinity, no commemoration of the Sunday, no 

Sequence). Two such occasions are allowed. This Mass may not be celebrated on days of 

1st Class.

the Rogations is celebrated afterwards as a Votive Mass of 2nd Class. No Preparatory 

Prayers, no Gloria, no Creed, Preface of Easter, in Violet. (On Sunday with Creed and 

commemoration of the Sunday.) This Mass may not be celebrated on days of 1st Class. 

(Gen. Rub. 80-90, Gen. Rub. of Missal 341-344, 346-347) 

First Thursday

Collect, Secret and Postcommunion taken from the Occasional Prayers for the Dead, is 

used for a deceased Sovereign Pontiff, Cardinal, Bishop or Priest in all Masses of 1st, 2nd 

or 3rd Class. 

8


+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 

The Mass ‘In Die Obitus seu Depositionis Defuncti’ is said for the dead who are not priests 

etc for: 

the Funeral Mass, 

Masses for the day of death, 

Masses after receiving news of a death, 

the final burial, 

the 3rd, 7th and 30th day, but with proper Collect, Secret and Postcommunion. 

If the Mass for the day of death is said after 8 days from the day of death or burial the 

adverb hodie is omitted in the Collect and Postcommunion. 

The Mass ‘In Anniversario Defunctorum’ is used for anniversaries of deceased persons who 

are not priests etc. 

The Mass ‘Quotidiana’, the Daily Mass for the Dead, is used for all deceased persons of 

whatever order or rank, outside the days mentioned above. 


Mass of an Impeded 3rd Class Feast 

Where, on a 3rd Class Feast of a Saint a commemoration of another Saint is ordered, the 

Mass of the commemorated Saint may be said ad lib with a commemoration of the other 

Saint. The impeded feast may be either 3 rd Class or a commemoration. However, should 

the impeding Feast be of a rank greater than 3rd Class the Mass of the impeded Feast may 

not be said ad lib. 

Mass of a Commemorated Saint on a 4th Class Feria 

Where on a 4th Class Feria the commemoration of a Saint is ordered, the Mass of the 

commemorated Saint may be said ad lib instead of the Ferial Mass. Where two 

commemorations of Saints are ordered the Mass may be of either ad lib, but in this case a 

commemoration of the other Saint is made. 

(Gen. Rub. Missal 302-303) 

9


+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 

Resumed Sunday Mass on 4th Class Feria 

All the Ferias of Lent and Passiontide, as well as the Ember Days of Advent and 

September, have a proper Mass. On other Ferias the Mass of the preceding Sunday is 

said, but without Gloria or Creed. 

However the following should be noted: 

On Ferias between the Octave Day of the Nativity of OLJC and the Epiphany the Mass of 

the Octave Day of the Nativity is said, with Gloria and Preface of the Nativity but without 

Creed or proper Communicantes. 

On Ferias between the Epiphany and the Feast of the Holy Family the Mass of the 

Epiphany is said, with Gloria and Preface of the Epiphany but without Creed or proper 

Communicantes. 

On Ferias between the Feast of the Holy Family and the Commemoration of the Baptism of 

OLJC the Mass of 1st Sunday after the Epiphany is said, in White, with Gloria and Preface 

of the Epiphany but without Creed or Proper Communicantes. 

On Ferias between the Commemoration of the Baptism and 2nd Sunday after Epiphany the 

Mass of 1st Sunday after Epiphany is said, but in Green, with the Common Preface and 

without Gloria, Creed or proper Communicantes. 

On Ferias between the Ascension and the Vigil of Pentecost, including the Friday 

immediately prior to the Vigil of Pentecost, the Mass of the Ascension is said, even after the 

Sunday, with Gloria and Preface of the Ascension but without Creed or proper 

Communicantes. 

Where the preceding Sunday is impeded by a Feast, either perpetually, as in the Feasts of 

the Holy Family, the Most Holy Trinity or OLJC the King, or accidentally for any particular 

year, the resumed Mass to be said on any 4th Class Feria is that of the impeded Sunday, 

except as provided above. 

(Gen. Rub. of Missal 299) 

10


+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 

Commemorations 

Commemorations are either privileged or ordinary. 

Privileged commemorations are made in all Masses, and at Lauds and Vespers; ordinary 

commemorations are made only in Low Masses (and Conventual Masses) and at Lauds 

(but not Vespers). 

The Privileged commemorations are: 

of a Sunday, 

of a day of 1st Class, 

of a day within the Octave of Christmas, 

of the September Ember Days, 

of the Ferias of Advent, Lent and Passiontide, 

of the Greater Litanies (in Mass, no commemoration made in the Office). 

All other commemorations are ordinary. 

There are in addition certain Collects (with Secrets and Postcommunions) which are 

ordered to be said under one conclusion with the Collect, Secret and Postcommunion of the 

Mass. These added prayers referred to in this Calendar as 'commemorations', though not 

strictly such, are made in all Masses and are reckoned as only one prayer with the prayers 

of the Mass. Examples of such added prayers are those for the Pope, the Bishop and the 

propagation of the Faith. No mention is made of them in the Office. 

On days of 1st Class and in High or Sung Masses (non-conventual) only one 

commemoration, which must be privileged, is admitted. 

On Sundays of 2nd Class only one commemoration is admitted, that of a 2nd Class Feast, 

which however is omitted if a privileged commemoration is to be made. 

On other days of 2nd Class, unless occurring on a Sunday, only one commemoration again 

is admitted, but this may be either privileged or ordinary. 

On days of 3rd or 4th Class two commemorations (and not more) are admitted. 

11


+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 

On days of 4th Class where one commemoration only or no commemoration is to be made 

the celebrant may, at a Low Mass, add one Collect (with accompanying Secret and 

Postcommunion) at choice. This Collect etc. may be chosen from any Votive Mass, or 

Prayers for Special Intentions or from Masses or Prayers for the Dead given in the Missal. 

This Collect etc is said in the last place after any commemoration that is to be said. 

If the Collect A cunctis from the Orationes Diversae is chosen the Titular of the church, or 

any chief Patron or for an Order or Congregation the Founder or Titular may be named. 

In computing the number of commemorations any Collect, Secret and Postcommunion that 

is to be added, under one conclusion, to the collect etc. of the Mass being said is not taken 

into account. 

However, in all cases, the Mass of a Sunday excludes the commemoration of a Feast or 

Mystery of the Lord and vice versa. Hence, where a Feast of the Lord, either perpetually or 

accidentally for that year, is celebrated on a Sunday no commemoration of the impeded 

Sunday is made. The term Feast of the Lord includes the Feasts of the Most Holy Trinity 

and the Holy Family, together with the anniversary of the Dedication of a Cathedral or 

Church. Likewise the Mass of the BVM or of any Saint excludes the commemoration of the 

same BVM or Saint. 

(Gen. Rub. 106-114, Gen. Rub. of Missal 433-465) 

Prayers for the Supreme Pontiff, the Bishop and the Priest 

On the day of the coronation of the Supreme Pontiff, on its anniversary and on either the 

election, consecration or translation of the diocesan Bishop (once as chosen by the Bishop) 

for the Conventual Mass in the Cathedral is said the proper Votive Mass, as a Votive Mass 

of 2nd Class. This Mass is permitted on all days of 2nd, 3rd or 4th Class. If the anniversary 

is perpetually impeded it is permanently moved to the nearest day not so impeded. If it is 

accidentally impeded by the Nativity of OLJC, Easter Sunday, Whit Sunday, a day in the 

Sacred Triduum, the Epiphany, the Ascension, the Most Holy Trinity, Corpus Christi, the 

Sacred Heart, OLJC the King or the Commemoration of all the Faithful Departed it is 

transferred to the nearest day not of 1st Class. If it is otherwise accidentally impeded the 

Votive Mass is only commemorated for that year. On that day, when the Votive Mass is to 

be said or commemorated in the Cathedral, in all Churches, or all Churches of the Diocese 

for the Bishop's anniversary, the Collect, Secret and Postcommunion for the Supreme 

Pontiff or Bishop is to be added to all Masses (except Requiems) under one conclusion to 

the Collect etc of the Mass. The day on which this extra Collect etc. is to be added for the 

Universal Church or the Diocese, where it can be ascertained, is indicated in this Calendar. 

12


+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 

On the anniversary of his ordination to the Priesthood every Priest may add the Collect etc. 

for himself under one conclusion to the Collect etc of the Mass (except Requiems), 

provided it is not the Nativity of OLJC etc as listed above. When so impeded the Collect 

etc. is transferred to the nearest day not so impeded. 

(Gen. Rub. of Missal 362-364, 449-450) 

Feasts Proper to a Diocese and a Church 

Feasts proper to a Diocese include: 

the Feast of the Principal Patron of the Diocese (1st Class), 

the Feast of the Secondary Patron of the Diocese (2nd Class), 

the anniversary of the day of the Dedication of the Cathedral (1st Class). 

However the Feast of the Titular of the Cathedral is no longer, simply by virtue of it being 

the Titular, observed throughout the Diocese. 

Feasts proper to a Church include: 

the anniversary of the day of the Dedication of the Church, if consecrated (1st 

Class), 

the Feast of the Titular of the Church, if consecrated or at least solemnly blessed 

(1st Class). 

(Gen. Rub. 40-47) 

The Creed on Feasts of Doctors 

The Creed is no longer said on Feasts of Doctors of the Church. 


Mass on 5th and 7th Days within the Octave of the Nativity of OLJC 

Those using a pre-1962 edition of the Roman Missal should note: 

In these editions no formula is given for the 5th and 7th days within the octave of Nativity, 

since these days were formerly observed as the Feasts of S Thomas B M & S Silvester P C 

respectively. However, in the 1962 Universal Calendar these Feasts were reduced to that 

given for 6th day within the Octave but with appropriate commemorations. (In England and 

Wales 5th day is observed as S Thomas with the rank of 1st Class as noted). 

13


+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 

Singing of the Antiphon of the BVM after Mass 

Where the custom exists of singing the antiphon of the BVM together with the appropriate 

versicle and response and prayer after Mass the following should be observed: 

From 1st Sunday of Advent to the Vigil of the Nativity of OLJC inclusive, Alma Redemptoris 

Mater together with versicle Angelus Domini and prayer Gratiam tuam is sung. 

From the Nativity to the Purification of BVM inclusive, Alma Redemptoris Mater together 

with versicle Post partum and prayer Deus qui salutis is sung. 

From the day after the Purification to the Wednesday in Holy Week inclusive, Ave Regina 

caelorum is sung. 

From Easter Sunday to Whit Saturday inclusive, Regina caeli is sung. 

From the Feast of the Most Holy Trinity to the Saturday before the 1st Sunday in Advent 

inclusive, Salve Regina is sung. 

On a Sunday if the Prayer for the Queen is to be sung, it must be sung first and for this and 

the Antiphon of the BVM the maniple should be removed. 

Prayers for Benediction 

The following prayers should be said during Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament as 

noted: 

At the principal Benediction on Sundays and Holydays of Obligation O Blessed Virgin Mary. 

However, on 2nd Sunday of the month this is replaced by Hail Mary together with O 

Merciful God and O Loving Lord Jesus. 

On the Friday, Saturday and Sunday following the Feast of Corpus Christi in all Cathedrals, 

and as far as possible in Parish Churches, the Triduum in honour of the Blessed 

Sacrament. 

On the Feast of the Sacred Heart, the Act of Reparation to the Sacred Heart. The form of 

Consecration to and the Litany of the Sacred Heart of Jesus may also be said. 

On the Sunday after the Feast of SS Peter and Paul, or on the Feast itself should it fall on a 

Sunday, the Dedication of England to S Peter. 

On 1st Sunday of October the Dedication of England to the BVM. 

On the Feast of OLJC the King the Form of Consecration to and the Litany of the Sacred 

Heart of Jesus. 

From 1st October to 2nd November inclusive the October Devotions. 

In Wales whenever Solemn Benediction is given O Almighty God together with the 

Invocations that follow.

INDULGENCES 

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 

To appreciate the benefit of an indulgence, one must recognise that every sin, because it is 

an injustice against God, merits punishment. Moreover, one must understand that the 

forgiveness of sin is one thing but the removal of punishment is something else. After the 

fall, for example, Adam was forgiven his sin (cf. Wisdom 10: 1-2) but he still had to suffer 

the punishment of death. Even though King David's adultery was pardoned, he nonetheless 

had to endure the death of his child as a penalty for his offence. 

Mortal sin and the eternal punishment due to it are removed by a sacramental 

confession. But just as Adam and David, having been forgiven their mortal sins, 

underwent temporal punishment (i.e. punishment that lasted for a time), so also, the 

Church's theologians affirm, according to the ordinary law the sorrow of the penitent does 

not remove all the temporal punishment. This punishment must be endured either here in 

this world or in purgatory. 

An indulgence, however, is one way that the temporal punishment due to forgiven 

sin is removed. The Council of Trent pronounced that Christ had given to His Church the 

power of granting indulgences and that the Church had used this power since the earliest 

times. Recognising that the use of indulgences is especially salutary for the Christian 

people as well as approved by the authority of the holy councils, Trent condemned those 

who either claimed that indulgences are useless or who denied the Church's power to grant 

them. 

Besides maintaining the Church's authority to grant indulgences, Pope Clement VI 

explained the existence of the Church's treasury. He said that through the death of Christ 

there was established an infinite treasure by which those who use it become partakers of 

God's friendship. Christ entrusted this treasure, the pontiff continued, to be dispensed to 

the faithful through Peter and his successors either for the total or the partial remission of 

temporal punishment due to forgiven sins (cf. Denzinger 551). Not only do the merits of 

Christ belong to this treasury, but also those of Our Lady and the saints. There can be no 

fear of any diminution of this treasury, not only because Christ's merits are infinite but also 

because when merits are applied they bring many to justice and this increases the treasury 

(cf. Denzinger 552). 

Transferring the merits from one member to satisfy for the punishments of another 

strikingly illustrates the doctrine of the communion of saints. As St Paul says, 'And if one 

part is suffering, all the rest suffer with it; if one part is treated with honour, all the rest find 

pleasure in it. And you are Christ's body, organs of it depending upon each other' (1 Cor. 

12:26-27). 'Because all the faithful, under Christ their head, form one mystical body', Fr A M 

Herve SJ wrote, 'the merits of Christ and the satisfactions of Christ and the saints are, in a 

certain sense, the property of the individual members and these members can grant them 

for the benefit of one another' (cf. 'De Indulgentiis' Herve, Vol IV, p.69). By granting 

indulgences, the Church through the Vicar of Our Lord on earth applies the merits of Christ 

and the saints to the souls in purgatory and to the faithful on earth to satisfy for the 

punishment their forgiven sins deserve. Those in purgatory are members of the mystical 

body whose bond is love. Because they cannot help themselves, they depend upon the 

charity of the faithful on earth to gain indulgences for them. Unlike some remission of 

temporal punishment from the prayers, fasts and almsgiving of an individual member of the 

faithful, the value of the indulgence is much greater because it is derived from the 

intervention of the Church Herself. 

16

INDULGENCES 

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 

Three things are necessary for an indulgence: (1) the one granting it must have 

legitimate authority; (2) there must be a just cause for granting it; (3) the one acquiring the 

indulgence must be in a state of grace and subject to the one granting the indulgence. 

In practice the entire power of granting indulgences belongs to the Sovereign Pontiff. 

Since he is not the Lord but the administrator and distributor of the Church's treasury, he 

cannot arbitrarily dispose of it but requires a just cause. Any cause, however, which inclines 

to the honour of God and the benefit of the Church is a just cause. The weight of the 

indulgence is not measured by the difficulty in performing the work but by the end intended 

by the one granting the indulgence. Consequently, a great indulgence is attached to 

Stations of the Cross, a work of minor difficulty, because it is considered exceedingly useful 

for the Church. The subject who is capable of gaining indulgences should have the general 

intention, which once made is never retracted, of acquiring them. 

Indulgences, which remove temporal punishment due to forgiven sin, may be gained 

by the living for themselves or applied to the souls in purgatory but they cannot be applied 

to other living persons. Indulgences are called plenary if they remove temporal punishment 

and partial if they remove only some of it. A plenary indulgence can be acquired only once 

in the course of a day but a partial indulgence may be acquired more than once a day. To 

gain an indulgence for oneself one must be baptised, in a state of grace at least at the 

completion of the prescribed work and subject to the one granting the indulgence. One 

must also have at least a general intention of gaining an indulgence and must perform the 

works enjoined at the time in the manner prescribed. 

To acquire a plenary indulgence, the 1968 Enchiridion of Indulgences, issued by the 

Sacred Penitentiary, states, "it is necessary to perform the work to which the indulgence is 

attached and to fulfil the following three conditions; Sacramental Confession, Eucharistic 

Communion and prayer for the intention of the Sovereign Pontiff. It is further required that 

all attachment to sin, even venial sin, be absent. If the latter disposition is in any way less 

than perfect or if the prescribed three conditions are not fulfilled, the indulgence will be 

partial only..." 

The three conditions may be fulfilled several days before or after the performance of 

the prescribed work: it is, however, fitting that Communion be received and the prayer for 

the intention of the Sovereign Pontiff be said on the same day the work is performed. "A 

single sacramental confession suffices for gaining several plenary indulgences; but 

Communion must be received and prayer for the intention of the Sovereign Pontiff must be 

recited for gaining of each plenary indulgence. The condition of praying for the intention of 

the Sovereign Pontiff is fully satisfied by reciting one Our Father and one Hail Mary; 

nevertheless, each person is free to recite any other prayer according to his piety and 

devotion". 

Some works to which are attached plenary indulgences are: a visit to the Blessed 

Sacrament which lasts for half an hour, the Stations of the Cross, recitation of five decades 

of the Rosary while contemplating the mysteries, and reading scripture for one half hour. 

17

INDULGENCES 

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 

In the revision of indulgences the measurement of partial indulgences by day and 

years has been abolished. Pope Paul VI, however, made three general grants for partial 

indulgences. A partial indulgence is granted to the faithful who, in the performance of their 

duties and in bearing the trials of life, raise their mind, with humble confidence to God, 

adding (even if only mentally) some pious invocation. A partial indulgence is granted to the 

faithful who in a spirit of faith and mercy give of themselves or of their goods to serve their 

brothers in need. A partial indulgence is granted to the faithful who in a spirit of penance 

voluntarily deprive themselves of what is licit and pleasing to them. 

With permission of the Priestly Fraternity of St Peter, Elmhurst, PA, USA.

INDULGENCES

Various Days on Which a Plenary Indulgence May be Gained:

APPENDIX 1

Birmingham 

Two changes in respect to Birmingham have been made to recent versions of this calendar. 

Since during the Christmas Octave, of diocesan feasts, only those of 1st Class and in 

honour of saints who are on those days inscribed in the universal calendar, though only by 

a commemoration, are admitted, the commemoration of S Egwin on 30th December is no 

longer made. (Gen. Rub. 68 f.) This is confirmed by relevant year books. 

S Chad on 2nd March has been reduced to 2nd Class. This is confirmed by relevant year 

books. 

External Solemnity of a Holyday of Obligation in England and Wales 

As the full text of the dubium of the Bishops of England and Wales and the reply from the 

Ecclesia Dei Commission have not been made public and a subsequent dubium from the 

Latin Mass Society to the Commission has not yet elicited a reply the solution in Appendix 2 

is offered in accordance with the General Rubrics of the Roman Missal. These rubrics do 

not allow an external solemnity to be celebrated on a 1 st Class Sunday or Feast and 

accordingly no provision can be made for this. 

The Sunday celebration of a Holyday of Obligation is not unknown in other countries and 

their practice has been followed in so far as the Compiler is aware of it. This includes the 

use of a sequence at the external solemnity of Corpus Christi even though sequences are 

not allowed in Votive Masses. 

No recommendation can be made in relation to these matters by the Compiler.
