Liturgical Calendar For The Dioceses Of The United States Of America for 2018

If you look at the liturgical calendar for the U.S., you'll find it a pretty handy guide for locating your place in the Liturgy of the Hours [LH]. For example, Pss III shown at the end of the selected readings for Mass on Sunday indicates Week 3 in the LH. The whole calendar is available for downloading as a PDF document. Enjoy!
