The dots mark the movable feasts — Ash Wednesday, Holy Week, Easter, Ascension, Pentecost, and Trinity Sunday — set each year by the date of Easter.

Today in the Church

We are in Ordinary Time — 25th Week in Ordinary Time. The liturgical colors shape the prayer of the Church through the year, from the violet of expectant Advent to the white of Easter glory.
