The Liturgical Year

Each week, the worship schedule includes the date and the title of each Sunday based on the liturgical year. The liturgical year is an ordering of days and seasons. The annual cycle determines feast days, periods of penance and celebration, and the parts of scripture read during the Daily Office and Holy Eucharist.

You will also notice a letter that indicates the color that corresponds to the colour of the day. The Church uses liturgical colours to order the year and visualize the seasons. More than just a way to decorate the church and create an aesthetic space, the colours help set the theological emphasis of the season and shape the way we pray in each period.
