Liturgy
Liturgical calendar
The rhythm of seasons through which the Church walks with Christ each year.
The liturgical year is the Church's calendar of worship — a yearly cycle that walks with Christ through his birth, ministry, passion, resurrection, and the gift of the Holy Spirit, deepening faith as it turns each year. Each season carries its own liturgical color, seen in the vestments and décor at Mass.
Advent
A season of watchful hope that opens the liturgical year, Advent prepares hearts for the celebration of Christ's birth while looking ahead to his promised return.
Christmas
Christmas celebrates the Incarnation — God taking on our humanity in Jesus Christ — and the joy of that light breaking into the world.
Ordinary Time
Spread across two stretches of the year, Ordinary Time follows Christ's public ministry through the Gospels, inviting steady, everyday growth in faith and discipleship.
Lent
A forty-day season of repentance and renewal, Lent turns the parish toward prayer, fasting, and almsgiving in preparation for Easter.
The Easter Triduum
The three days from the Mass of the Lord's Supper on Holy Thursday through Easter Sunday form the heart of the liturgical year, recalling Christ's passion, death, and resurrection.
Easter
Fifty days of resurrection joy follow the Triduum, carrying the Church from Easter Sunday to Pentecost, when the outpouring of the Holy Spirit is celebrated.
