Ordo

An Ordo is a calendar that lists the details of liturgies for a particular liturgical year for a particular rite and jurisdiction. It is a useful reference material for liturgists, and Servers will find it useful as well.

For each day in a year, an Ordo contains specifications for solemnities/feasts/feria, readings, whether or not the Credo and Gloria are included, the liturgical color, and more.

In the Roman Rite there are separate calendars for the Novus Ordo and Traditional Latin Mass. Since the latter is not celebrated at the Parish, we are only concerned with the former.

The Parish operates in two jurisdictions, the [[Archdiocese of New York]] and the [[Province of St. Joseph]]. Typically we follow the second, though occasionally Masses will be increased in Solemnity if it is appropriate in the [[Archdiocese of New York]], such as how we celebrate what would be the Commemoration of St. Patrick as the Solemnity of St. Patrick, since he is the patron of the archdiocese. Furthermore, the masses in the [[Dominican Rite]] follows their own Ordo.
