Before the Principal Sunday Mass:
*Note: Depending on the date of Easter, October may encompass four or five of the sixteenth through the twenty-fourth Sundays after Pentecost. The first Sunday is the external solemnity of Our Lady of the Rosary (Rosary Sunday), and the last is the feast of Christ the King.
Except when Christmas Day is a Monday (and Epiphany is a Saturday), the first Sunday of Advent is the sixth Sunday before Epiphany. Septuagesima is the ninth Sunday before Easter and the sixteenth before Pentecost.
