The new Liturgical Year begins on the First Sunday of Advent, 29 November 2026. The Liturgical Year guides the worship and prayers of the Catholic Church. During Advent, Catholics prepare their hearts for the birth of Jesus Christ at Christmas. Jesus came into the world to save us from sin and gave his life for us on the Cross. The Easter Triduum is the summit of the Liturgical Year, when we remember his Passion, death and glorious Resurrection. Through the saving death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, we are offered forgiveness, new life and the hope of eternal salvation.
Gilded Orpharion is currently under redesign; the full website will be accessible from 29 November 2026, the First Sunday of Advent and the beginning of the Catholic Liturgical Year.
