Notes:

All Feast Days are according to the 1962 calendar as clarified by the "Liturgical Ordo and Directory 2003" issued by the FSSP. Where there exists an option, the selection was made by our local chaplain and it is indicated by an "@" after the Feast Day name. Similarly the listed Votive Masses are those said at Mater Dei. (The selected Mass may be different at other placed.)
Abbreviations used in the fourth column (*) : Ab=Abbot, Ap=Apostle, B=Bishop, C=Confessor, D=Doctor, E=Evangelist, Em=Emperor, K=King, M=Martyr, P=Pope, Pe=Penitent, Q=Queen, V=Virgin, W=Widow, - = not applicable.
The Mass on Feria days are usually the same as the preceding Sunday. Therefor the Prayers, Vestment Colors, Epistle and Gospel readings are those of the preceding Sunday.
