SEASON
LITURGICAL CALENDAR 2010
Introduction
Each year the Secretariat of Divine Worship of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops publishes the Liturgical Calendar for the Dioceses of the United States of America. This calendar is used by authors of ordines and other liturgical aids published to foster the celebration
of the liturgy in our country.
The calendar is based upon the General Roman Calendar, promulgated by Pope Paul VI on February 14, 1969, subsequently amended by Pope John Paul II, and the Particular Calendar for the Dioceses of the United States of America, approved by the National Conference of Catholic
Bishops.1
The General Instruction of the Roman Missal, 2002, reminds us that in the cycles of readings and prayers proclaimed throughout the year in the sacred liturgy “the mysteries of redemption are recalled in the Mass in such a way that they are in some way made present.” Thus may each
celebration of the Holy Eucharist which is served by this calendar be for the Church in all the dioceses of the United States of America “the high point of the action by which God sanctifies the world in Christ and of the worship that the human race offers to the Father, adoring him
through Christ, the Son of God, in the Holy Spirit.”2
