Catholic Extension Society Parish Calendars Catholic Extension Parish calendars are one way that Catholic Extension raises funds to extend the Faith in poor and remote areas across the United States where resources are insufficient. Funds from our calendars are used to support missionary priests, religious and lay ministers, build and repair chapels, educate seminarians, fund religious education and outreach programs and other missionary work in 82 Catholic mission dioceses across America. Plan ahead for 2010: check out their website to find out more about what the Extension Society does and how you can help.

Our Lady of Guadalupe
According to the USCCB: "In 2010, the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, December 12, falls on the Third Sunday of Advent. This feast may be observed on December 11 or 13 with the permission of the diocesan bishop. On December 12, the Third Sunday of Advent, Our Lady of Guadalupe may be appropriately honored in one or more of the petitions of the Prayer of the Faithful, in the homily, and perhaps in one of the hymns during the liturgy. The readings and the Mass formulary for December 12 are those for the Third Sunday of Advent." In the Diocese of Davenport, the Feast is transferred to Saturday, December 11.
