Changes to the Calendar


New ranking system

''Novum rubricarum'' abolished the traditional ranking of Sundays, ferias, and feast days as doubles (of varying degrees) and simples—the rank of semidouble having already been suppressed by Pius XII in 1955—and introduced a new system of ranking the various liturgical days of the Roman rite. Feasts previously ranked as doubles of the I class were reclassified as ''feasts of the I class.'' Feasts previously ranked as doubles of the II class were reclassified as ''feasts of the II class.'' Feasts ranked in 1954 as greater doubles, doubles, and semidoubles were reclassified as ''feasts of the III class.'' Feasts that had formerly been ranked as simples and had been reduced to commemorations in Pius XII's 1955 revision of the calendar remained ''commemorations.''''Acta Apostolicae Sedis'' LII (1960)
/ref> The Sundays of Advent, Lent, and Passiontide, and Low Sunday were classified as ''Sundays of the I class.'' All other Sundays of the year—excluding those perpetually impeded by feasts of the I class—became ''Sundays of the II class.'' Ash Wednesday, the ferias of Holy Week, the Paschal Triduum, and the days within the octaves of Easter and Pentecost (including the Ember Days of Pentecost) were classified as ''ferias of the I class.'' The ferias of Advent from 17 to 23 December inclusive, the days within the octave of Christmas not impeded by the feasts of saints (29–31 December inclusive), as well as the Ember Days of Advent, Lent, and September were ranked as ''ferias of the II class.'' The ferias of Advent, excluding 17–23 December, were ranked as ''ferias of the III class'', as were the ferias of Lent and Passiontide. In addition, the ferias of Lent and Passiontide were given precedence over all feasts of the III class, with III-class feasts reduced to commemorations in years in which they fell during Lent or Passiontide. The remaining ferias of the year were classified ''ferias of the IV class.'' The following feasts were reduced to commemorations: * the previous greater doubles of ** Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel (16 July) ** Our Lady of Ransom (24 September) ** The Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Friday after the I Sunday in Passiontide) * the previous doubles of ** The Impression of the Sacred Stigmata of St. Francis Confessor (17 September) ** Ss. Eustace and Companions Martyrs (20 September) ** St. Thomas f CanterburyBishop and Martyr (29 December) ** St. Sylvester I Pope and Confessor (31 December) * the previous simples (up to 1955, semidoubles) of ** St. George Martyr (23 April) ** St. Alexius Confessor (17 July) ** Ss. Cyriacus, Largus, and Smaragdus Martyrs (8 August) The following days of the II class became liturgical days of the I class: * Octave Day of the Nativity of the Lord (1 January) * The Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed (2 November or 3 November if 2 November falls on Sunday) The following greater doubles became liturgical days of the II class: * The Holy Family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph (I Sunday after Epiphany) * The Chair of Saint Peter (22 February) * The Exaltation of the Holy Cross (14 September)


Deletions and additions to the calendar

The following feasts were deleted from the calendar: * doubles of the II class ** The Finding of the Holy Cross (3 May; considered a duplication of the 14 September feast of the Cross) * greater doubles ** The Chair of Saint Peter Apostle at Rome (18 January; merged with the 22 February feast of St. Peter's Chair at Antioch) ** St. John Apostle and Evangelist Before the Latin Gate (6 May; considered a duplication of the 27 December feast of St. John) ** The Apparition of St. Michael Archangel (8 May; considered a duplication of the 29 September feast of the Dedication of St. Michael) ** St. Peter Apostle in Chains (1 August; considered a duplication of the 29 June feast of Ss. Peter and Paul) * simples (up to 1955, semidoubles) ** St. Leo II Pope and Confessor (3 July; removed as a result of the transfer of St. Irenaeus to 3 July) ** St. Anacletus Pope and Martyr (13 July; merged with the 26 April feast of St. Cletus) ** On the Finding of the Body of St. Stephen Protomartyr (3 August; considered a duplication of the 26 December feast of St. Stephen) The commemoration of St. Vitalis Martyr (28 April) was likewise deleted, due to doubts about the historicity of his martyrdom. The following feasts were inscribed in the calendar: * St. Gregory Barbarigo Bishop and Confessor (17 June, III cl.) * St. Anthony Mary Claret Bishop and Confessor (23 October, III cl.)


Other changes

The following feasts were transferred: * St. Irenaeus Bishop and Martyr (28 June to 3 July; to make room for celebration of the Vigil of Ss. Peter and Paul) * St. John Mary Vianney Confessor (9 to 8 August; to be nearer to his ''natalis'') The commemoration of Ss. Sergius, Bacchus, Marcellus, and Apuleius Martyrs was transferred from 7 to 8 October, due to rubrical changes that restricted the number of commemorations allowed on a II-class feast (in this case, the 7 October feast of the Rosary) to only one. The following titles were changed: * The Circumcision of the Lord became the Octave Day of the Nativity (1 January) * The Octave Day of the Epiphany became the Commemoration of the Baptism of the Lord (13 January, II cl.) * The Chair of St. Peter Apostle at Antioch became The Chair of St. Peter Apostle (22 February) * The Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary became Blessed Virgin Mary of the Rosary (7 October) The new rubrics also restricted the transferral of impeded feast days that occur in a given year on the same day as a liturgical day of higher rank solely to feasts of the I class (formerly doubles of the I class). Under the older rubrics, both doubles of the I class and doubles of the II class (feasts of the II class under the 1960 rubrics) were transferred when impeded.

made public the decree ''Cum sanctissima'', dated 22 February 2020, which introduced a number of options for use in contemporary celebration of the Office and Mass according to the 1961 Breviary and 1962 Missal. With regard to the liturgical calendar, the decree grants permission for the celebration of feasts of saints canonized after 26 July 1960, using the dates set forth by the Holy See for the liturgical observance of these saints for the universal Church. The decree also allows the option for the celebration of certain III-class feasts during Lent and Passiontide, which heretofore had been forbidden by the 1960 Code of Rubrics.

Masses for Certain Places ''(pro Aliquibus Locis)''

The 1962 typical edition of the Roman Missal—the edition incorporating the changes made for the 1960 General Calendar—collected many (though not all) Mass propers for feasts approved for celebration in certain places in a supplement placed at the end of the Missal; this supplement also incorporated changes mandated by Pope John XXIII regarding the suppression of some local feasts in his 14 February 1961 instruction ''De calendariis particularibus''. Masses listed in this supplement may nowadays be said anywhere on days of the IV class. Some saints listed below are also in the General Calendar above; these saints have proper Masses in the ''pro Aliquibus Locis'' supplement that may be said ''ad libitum'' in place of the Masses listed in the main body of the Missal. * 7 December: St. Ambrose Bishop, Confessor, and Doctor of the Church roper Mass* 3 January: St. Gaspar del Bufalo Confessor; St. Frances Xavier Cabrini Virgin ransferred to 13 November* 23 January: St. Ildephonsus Bishop and Confessor * 29 January: St. Francis de Sales Bishop, Confessor, and Doctor of the Church roper Mass* 21 February: St. Margaret of Cortona Penitent * 15 March: St. Louise de Marillac Widow * 21 March: St. Benedict Abbot roper Mass* 16 April: St. Benedict Joseph Labre Confessor * 26 April: Our Lady of Good Counsel * 28 April: St. Peter Chanel Martyr; St. Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort Confessor * 29 April: St. Joseph Benedict Cottolengo Confessor * 3 May: On the Finding of the Holy Cross * 6 May: St. John Apostle and Evangelist Before the Latin Gate; St. Dominic Savio Confessor * 8 May: Our Lady, Queen of All Saints and Mother of Fair Love; Our Lady, Mediatrix of All Graces; Our Lady of the Sacred Heart of Jesus; On the Apparition of St.
