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.

I don't know, but because our Priest serves Tucson and is not back in PHX till the next day, Saturday, will be Our Holy Day of Obligation. 11:30 am Mass

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

Just what the world needs - fewer Holy days!
