Schedule / Colors of the Church Year
Advent - When: It is the 4 weekends before Christmas
•Color: Purple: Beginning of the Church's Liturgical Year.Christmas Season - When: December - January•Color: WhiteVigil Christmas Mass through Feast of the Baptism of the Lord
•Color: Green•Christmas Time and Easter Time highlight the central mysteries of the Paschal Mystery, namely, the incarnation, death on the cross, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ, and the descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. The Sundays and weeks of Ordinary Time, on the other hand, take us through the life of Christ. This is the time of conversion. This is living the life of Christ.•Ordinary Time is a time for growth and maturation, a time in which the mystery of Christ is called to penetrate ever more deeply into history until all things are finally caught up in Christ. The goal, toward which all of history is directed, is represented by the final Sunday in Ordinary Time, the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe.LENT - When: Ash Wednesday through Triduum Masses•Color: PurpleColor: Red/White
Triduum - When 3 days before Easter
•The summit of the Liturgical Year is the Easter Triduum—from the evening of Holy Thursday to the evening of Easter Sunday. Though chronologically three days, they are liturgically one day unfolding for us the unity of Christ's Paschal Mystery.• The single celebration of the Triduum marks the end of the Lenten season, and leads to the Mass of the Resurrection of the Lord at the Easter Vigil.•The liturgical services that take place during the Triduum are:•Mass of the Lord's Supper•Good Friday of the Lord's Passion•Mass of the Resurrection of the LordEASTER SEASON When: Spring•Color: WHITE•There are 50 days of Easter from Easter Sunday to Pentecost.
