following the Calendarium Proprium pro Familiis Franciscalibus (OFM, OFMConv, OFMCap, TOR) approved by the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments in a decree dated December 12, 2001 (Prot. n. 1672/96/L) and the Calendarium proprium Ordinis Fratrum Minorum Capuccinorum approved by the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments in a decree dated July 6, 2002 (Prot. n. 1350/02/L).

Italics indicate celebrations proper to the Capuchin Order.

[1]        The memorial of Bl. Felix of Nicosia has been transferred from May 29 to June 2 to avoid multiple celebration dates. For that reason we have opted to conform the calendar to the norms given in the decree of October 25, 1985 (Prot. n. 1324/85). Background information: 1) the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, in approving the liturgical calendar for the church of Sicily (July 28, 1976), assigned the memorial of Bl. Felix of Nicosia to June 2; 2) in a decree dated January 17, 1980 (Prot. n. CD 1152/79) the same Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, in approving the Latin and Italian texts for the Mass and Liturgy of the Hours in honor of Bl. Felix of Nicosia, once again assigned the celebration of Bl. Felix to June 2, to be celebrated as a feast in the friary at Nicosia and as an obligatory memorial elsewhere in the Province of Messina; 3) on February 9, 1981, the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments approved the Seraphic Calendar for Sicily, once again assigning the memorial of Bl. Felix (as an obligatory memorial for all Franciscans in Sicily) to June 2. The same was confirmed by the Congregation in a letter dated August 18, 1987 (Prot. n. 982/97).

[2]        The memorial of St. Francis Mary of Camporosso has been transferred from September 20 to September 19 because in the universal calendar of the church, the obligatory memorial of St. Andrew Kim and Companion Martyrs falls on September 20.
