How this calendar is built

The temporal cycle is computed from the date of Easter and the first Sunday of Advent. The sanctoral is a curated table covering every feast of the first and second class. Where the rubrics contain provisions we do not yet model — translated feasts, particular calendars, and proper calendars of institutes — we present the season and point to the Missal rather than guess.

A local church may keep a proper calendar that differs from what is shown here. The parish is always the authority for its own day.
