Feasts & Solemnities

Here the homilies are sorted according to the Sanctoral Calendar. This includes any feast day, whether of a Saint or not, that is assigned to a day of the month. So, for instance, Christmas is on this calendar, since it is always December 25th. Easter is on the Liturgical Year Calendar since it is not always on the same day. The homilies here either use the proper readings for a feast, or they are for a memorial using whatever the readings of the day were but written using stories from the Saint's life as an example for our lives.
