What is the liturgical calendar?
The Catholic Church lives by a liturgical year. It begins with Advent, goes through Christmas, Lent, Holy Week and Easter, and returns to Ordinary Time. Every day has its own celebration: a solemnity, a feast, the memorial of a saint, or simply a weekday. The liturgical calendar tells you what the Church is celebrating today, so your own prayer can keep pace with the whole Church.
The week calendar on the home screen
Scroll down on the app’s home screen and you reach the week calendar. Today is clearly marked, and each day has a small dot in its liturgical colour. Tap a day and the card shows:
The liturgical season, such as Ordinary Time or Advent.
The day’s celebrations with their rank, for example a memorial of Our Lady and the weekday of the week.
The references of the day’s readings.
The Pope’s prayer intention for the month.
The liturgical colours on your screen
The app changes its home screen background to the liturgical colour of the day: green in Ordinary Time, violet in Advent and Lent, white on feasts of the Lord and of Our Lady, red for the Holy Spirit and the martyrs, rose on Gaudete and Laetare Sundays. Open the app and you know what kind of day it is.
From the calendar to the readings
Every day in the calendar leads straight to its daily Mass readings with the View Reading button. Looking for Mass on a feast day? The Mass times page shows how to find the nearest church.
Frequently asked questions
How far ahead can I look?
add
The week calendar runs from last week to five weeks ahead, enough to prepare for the next great feasts. The month view shows a whole month at a time.
Which calendar does the app follow?
add
The General Roman Calendar as the Church in Vietnam celebrates it, checked against the translators of the Liturgy of the Hours in Vietnam. Where your country or diocese moves a feast or keeps its own, follow your parish.
Can the app remind me of feast days?
add
Yes. Turn on Remind Feast Days in Settings to get a notification for the Church's feasts.
Is the Liturgy of the Hours in English?
add
Not yet. The Divine Office button opens the Hours from kpv.vn, which are in Vietnamese only.
Is the app free?
add
Yes. It is free on iPhone and Android, with no ads and no subscription. It is published by the Archdiocese of Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam.
