Ordinary Time

Begins on the Monday after the first Sunday following January 6th, and lasts until the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday.

The Tuesday before Ash Wednesday is also known as Mardi Gras.

Ordinary Time begins again on the Monday after Pentecost and lasts until the day before the First Sunday of Advent.

During ordinary Time, we hear stories of Jesus' life and mission, and explore how we can live this mission in our ordinary days.
