Liturgical Calendar- February 2024

The best and most complete liturgical calendar, which you can get on Amazon for about $16.00: “Episcopal Church 2024 Revised Common Lectionary Lesson Calendar”

For the Daily Office with its Readings for each day, download on your phone or ipad from the app store either:

Under “Preferences” or “Settings” you can set it up the way you want it, including the use of Spanish rather than English: I would recommend the following preferences: Rite II/ Lesser Feasts and Fasts/ do not click “Vigil”/you can add the Angelus as well. If anyone has difficulty using either app, please speak to Fr. Chrys, and he will help you set up the alternatives.
