Embracing the Seasons of Lent and Easter
As the liturgical calendar unfolds in 2026, Catholics will have the chance to enter into the solemn season of Lent, a time of fasting, prayer, and almsgiving. This period of preparation for Easter invites believers to examine their lives, repent of their sins, and draw closer to God through acts of penance and reflection. The journey through Lent culminates in the joyous celebration of Easter, the holiest day in the Christian calendar, when believers rejoice in the resurrection of Christ and the promise of new life.
Celebrating the Feast Days of the Saints
Throughout the year, the USCCB Liturgical Calendar for 2026 will be punctuated by feast days dedicated to the saints, holy men and women who have lived lives of extraordinary faith and virtue. These celebrations offer believers the opportunity to learn from the example of the saints, to seek their intercession in prayer, and to be inspired by their witness to the Gospel. From well-known saints like Saint Patrick and Saint Francis of Assisi to lesser-known figures like Saint Kateri Tekakwitha and Saint Josephine Bakhita, the calendar is a reminder of the rich diversity of holiness within the Church.
