Calendarium Ordinis Praedicatorum

On June 24, 2019, the Solemnity of the Nativity of St John the Baptist, the Master of the Order of Friars Preachers, Fr. Bruno Cadoré OP, signed the Decree of Promulgation of the Revised Liturgical Calendar of the Order, recently approved by the Holy See. The Calendar will go into effect with Vespers I of the First Sunday of Advent, November 30, 2019.

The new calendar is the fruit of work of the International Liturgical Commission of the Order (CLIOP) and the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments over a period of several years. It takes into account the revisions in the Roman Calendar touching on the saints of the Order and the many beatifications and canonizations which have taken place over recent years.

Alongside the Calendar, the Master of the Order has also decreed the publication of an index of saints and blesseds outside the calendar, which can be used in votive celebrations in accordance with the rubrics, and as a guide in the preparation of calendars for the different provinces, monasteries, federations/associations and institutes of the Order.
