Last weekend, I had included in the bulletin the text of the Epiphany Proclamation, which is the formal announcement of the dates of the major liturgical feasts of the coming year. Unfortunately, due to my error, part of the text was left out. I include it here as follows:
Know, dear brothers and sisters, that, as we have rejoiced at the Nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ, so by leave of God’s mercy we announce to you also the joy of his Resurrection, who is our Savior.
On the 22nd day of February will fall Ash Wednesday, and the beginning of thefast of the most sacred Lenten season.
On the 9th day of April you will celebrate with joy Easter Day, the Paschal Feast of our Lord Jesus Christ.
On the 18th day of May will be the Ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ.
On the 28th day of May, the feast of Pentecost.
On the 11th day of June, the feast of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ.
On the 3rd day of December, the First Sunday of the Advent of our Lord Jesus Christ, to whom is honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
