Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer

Redemptorist Medallion

REDEMPTORIST LITURGICAL CALENDAR 2008

Australian Province

Vice-Provinces of Ipoh and Manila

Region of Aotearoa-New Zealand

By authority of the Provincial Superior

Notes

1. The calendar proper to the Congregation was approved in 1975.

2. The C.SS.R. calendar and texts are extended to the Redemptoristines.

3. The Redemptorists may celebrate the feasts of the country and diocese where they are.

4. In houses where O.L.P.H. is the titular of the church (or oratory if there is no church), the celebration ranks as a solemnity. If there is popular devotion to the feast, it may be celebrated in these houses on Sunday in addition to the celebration during the week, and the Mass of Our Lady of Perpetual Help may be used on that day at all Masses at which a congregation is present (cf. Norms of the Calendar, n. 58).

5. Houses with a consecrated church celebrate the dedication of the church on the day when the diocese celebrates the dedication of all its churches.

6. The celebration of Votive Masses is regulated by nn. 326-334 of the General Instruction of the Roman Missal.

7. Redemptorists may accept offerings for a second or third Mass on the same day (except for concelebrations) in favour of the houses of formation or the foreign missions (can.951 §1). These additional offerings should be sent each quarter to the Provincial office.
