Liturgical Memorials

Learn how the Church remembers saints in the liturgical year.

Christ remains the center

Memorials, feasts, and solemnities remember the grace of Christ at work in members of his Body. Calendars can differ between the universal Church, countries, dioceses, religious communities, and Eastern Catholic Churches.

Dates recorded in older devotional sources are retained as research data and should be checked against the calendar currently used in the visitor’s own Church.
