Liturgical Links


Links to where you can find information

about feasts and celebrations

added to the Missal and/or Lectionary

since their publications.


The website of the Liturgy Office of the Bishops' Conference of England and Wales, rather like a teenager's bedroom, is notoriously difficult to negotiate, so finding what one needs requires a lot of luck. Much necessary information doesn't seem to be there. Yet, anyway. So here are the links you may find useful. Where possible I have made the links to the England and Wales office; often, though, I can't find information there, so the link will take you to the United States and Canadian Bishops' Conference website, which is much better organised.

     Sometimes the information is in the form of a pdf which you can simply print out. On other pages, you will need to copy and paste the text into a document for printing.

     There is also sometimes a second reading for the Office of Readings included.
