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. I would like to thank William Tomlinson for once again providing me with valuable assistance in the preparation of the Ordo, as also James Murphy in the LMS office, Bernard Martin and William Longland. Suggestions or comments on the contents of this or any future editions are welcome. Gordon Dimon 17th October 2007

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 Missa Cantata 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, nor does the Celebrant say Misereatur and Indulgentiam. Benedicamus Domino will not now normally occur, being restricted to the evening Mass on Holy Thursday, 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 Mass 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. (Instruction of the Sacred Congregation of Rites on Sacred Music and Liturgy 3rd September 1958)

LITURGICAL NOTES +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

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 latter Saint may be said ad lib with a commemoration of the former. 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) 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.

LITURGICAL NOTES +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 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) 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.

10

LITURGICAL NOTES +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 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. 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)

LITURGICAL NOTES

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 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. 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),

12

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. (Gen. Rub. of Missal 475-476) 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). 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.

13

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.

(Ritus Servandus in Solemni Expositione et Benedictione Sanctissimi Sacramenti 1954)

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 them 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 Various days on which a Plenary Indulgence may be gained: On 1st January, if the hymn Veni Creator is publicly recited or sung. On any Friday in Lent or Passiontide, by reciting the prayer En ego in front of an image of OLJC Crucified after having receiving Holy Communion. On Holy Thursday and on the feast of Corpus Christi, at the singing of Tantum ergo during the ceremonies. On Good Friday, by kissing the Cross during the ceremonies. On Holy Saturday, by joining in the Renewal of Baptismal Promises during the Vigil. On the feast of the Sacred Heart, if the Act of Reparation is publicly recited. On the feast of OLJC the King, if the Form of Consecration is publicly recited. On All Souls' Day, only applicable to the Souls in Purgatory, by visiting a church and there reciting a Pater and Credo. On the feast of the title of any church, by visiting the church and there reciting a Pater and Credo. On 2nd of August (Portiuncula), by visiting a church and there reciting a Pater and Credo. On 31st December, if the Te Deum is publicly recited or sung. (Enchiridion Indulgentiarum Normæ et Concessiones 1968)

NOTES Two changes in respect to Birmingham have been made to this year’s calendar. 1. 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. 2. S Chad on 2nd March has been reduced to 2nd Class. This is confirmed by relevant year books.
