transfer of a feast day

    • Our chapel has transferred All Souls day to Monday 11/3 because Sunday 11/2 is the 21st. Sunday after Pentecost.  

    So what are the rules for moving feast days?  I confess I know nothing of the subject.

    • All Souls Day has a lower rank in the order of precedence than the Sunday after Pentecost.  It is therefore transferred to the following day.  It's not just your chapel.  It's the whole Catholic Church.  

    Just out of curiosity, I checked the liturgical calendar of the USCCB and note that All Souls Day is NOT transferred in the Novus Ordo.  All Saints Day will NOT be a Holy Day in the Novus Ordo because it falls on Saturday.

    Is there a website that explains the ranking?  I'd like to learn more about it.

    • I did know that the NO church cancels days of obligation that fall on either a Saturday or Monday :facepalm:  Just what the world needs - fewer Holy days!

    This applies to the Novus Ordo in the United States.  I don't know about other countries.  The exception is the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, because this is the patron saint of the United States, and Christmas Day.  A year or two before I found tradition, Christmas as New Year's fell on Saturdays.  Christmas was a holy day, of course, but they didn't even mention New Years Day as a day of obligation at all.

    Older missals will tell you the rank of Feasts.  I don't know whether there is a website that explains the Roman Calendar.
