Liturgical Calendar for November and December 2016

Note:  This is a liturgical calendar (ordo) for the months of November and December 2016 for the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in the Extraordinary Form according to the Missale Romanum (1962) of Pope St. John XXIII.  (This page marks the beginning of the new liturgical year which begins on Sunday, November 27, 2016, the First Sunday of Advent.)  This ordo is intended as a general guide.  It does not show feasts which are observed only in particular places.  It does not show votive Masses on the days when they are permitted by the rubrics (with the exception of votive Masses of the Blessed Virgin Mary on certain Saturdays).  If a Mass is shown in this color, it means that Propers for that Mass are available on this site.
