Things to note in this time period
November is traditionally this month is when the church prays for people who have died. It starts with All Saints which is on Sunday this year, and All Souls days. The liturgical year ends with Christ the King.The first Sunday in Advent falls in the last week of
November.
December includes several significant feats, including Our Lady of Guadalaupe, and the Immaculate Conception.
This year,
Christmas Day
is on Thursday, so there's a small gap between it and the 4th Sunday of Advent.
January is included in this planning calendar so that teams can plan for the
post-Christmas period well in advance: this is important in the
southern hemisphere teams may have extended summer holidays.
