The liturgical year is made up of six seasons:
- Advent - four weeks of preparation before the celebration of Jesus' birth.
- Christmas Time - recalling the Nativity of Jesus Christ and his manifestation to the peoples of the world..
- Lent - a six-week period of penance before Easter.
- Sacred Paschal Triduum - the holiest "Three Days" of the Church's year, where the Christian people recall the suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus.
- Easter Time - 50 days of joyful celebration of the Lord's resurrection from the dead and his sending forth of the Holy Spirit.
- Ordinary Time- divided into two sections (one span of 4-8 weeks after Christmas Time and another lasting about six months after Easter Time), wherein the faithful consider the fullness of Jesus' teachings and works among his people..
