For use with the Liturgy of the Hours tutorial provided by The Rosary Shop (http://www.rosaryshop.com/), and Simple Way Limited Partnership and Lay Apostolate (http://prayer.rosaryshop.com/). This is a computer-generated calendar. Please note that some solemnities and other feasts are observed on (moved to) Sundays by particular dioceses and national conferences; this calendar notes their date per the Roman calendar. Items in parentheses are typically not celebrated due to another observation of greater priority on the same day and are included for informative purposes only.
