"Lest the feasts of the saints should take precedence over the feasts which commemorate the very mysteries of salvation, many of them should be left to be celebrated by a particular Church or nation or family of religious; only those should be extended to the universal Church which commemorate saints who are truly of universal importance."Sacrosanctum Concilium, 111

Special celebrations are ranked in this order:

  • Solemnity
  • Feast
  • Memorial
  • Optional Memorial
