Catholic Calendar May 2026
The month of May is a beautiful time in the Catholic calendar, filled with significant feast days, celebrations, and events. As we welcome the warmer weather and blooming flowers, we also have the opportunity to deepen our faith and connect with the rich traditions of the Church. Let’s explore what the Catholic Calendar has in store for May 2026!
Feast of Our Lady of Fatima
One of the most significant events in May is the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima, which falls on May 13th. This feast day commemorates the apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary to three young shepherd children in Fatima, Portugal, in 1917. The messages Our Lady shared with the children emphasized prayer, penance, and devotion to her Immaculate Heart. Catholics around the world celebrate this feast with special devotions, processions, and prayers, honoring Mary and seeking her intercession for peace in the world.
Pentecost Sunday
Another highlight of the month is Pentecost Sunday, which marks the end of the Easter season and the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles. This year, Pentecost falls on May 24th, and it is a time of great rejoicing and celebration in the Church. Catholics commemorate the outpouring of the Holy Spirit with special Masses, prayers, and the singing of hymns. It is a reminder of the power and presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives, guiding us, inspiring us, and empowering us to live out our faith with courage and zeal. Let us open our hearts to the gifts of the Holy Spirit and allow ourselves to be transformed by His grace this Pentecost Sunday.
