Catholic Calendar January 2026
The Catholic Calendar for January 2026 is filled with a sense of renewal and hope as we begin a new year filled with promise and possibility. January is a time for reflection, setting goals, and looking forward to what the future holds. As we turn the page on the previous year, we are greeted by a fresh start and the opportunity to grow in our faith and spirituality.
A Time for Celebration
January in the Catholic calendar is a time for celebration, starting with the Feast of the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God on January 1st. This feast day honors the Virgin Mary and her role as the mother of Jesus, highlighting her importance in the Catholic faith. It is a day to reflect on Mary’s virtues and seek her intercession as we begin the new year.
Another notable feast day in January is the Feast of the Epiphany on January 6th, which commemorates the visit of the Magi to the infant Jesus. This feast reminds us of the universal nature of Christ’s message and the importance of spreading the good news to all corners of the world. It is a time to reflect on how we can be a light to others and share the love of Christ with those around us.
Season of Ordinary Time
As we move through January, we enter into the season of Ordinary Time in the liturgical calendar. This is a time for growth, reflection, and deepening our relationship with God. Ordinary Time is not meant to be mundane or unimportant, but rather a period of growth and maturation in our faith.
During this time, we are called to live out our faith in our daily lives, seeking to embody the teachings of Christ in all that we do. It is a time to focus on prayer, acts of kindness, and living out the gospel message in a tangible way. As we journey through Ordinary Time, may we be inspired to live out our faith with joy, love, and compassion, making the world a better place for all.
