Every parish has at least two proper solemnities.
According to their Order of Precedence , these two proper solemnities rank above Feasts of the Lord in the General Calendar and Sundays of the Christmas Season and Sundays in Ordinary Time. For this reason, should either of these days fall on a Sunday in Ordinary Time or on a Sunday in the Christmas Season, the proper solemnity should be celebrated at all parish Masses. In addition, if the anniversary of dedication or solemnity of the patron of the church falls on a weekday, it is permissible to transfer that celebration to the nearest Sunday if that Sunday is a Sunday in Ordinary Time or in the Christmas Season. The prayer texts and readings for the celebration of the Patronal Saint or Title of the Church should be taken from the proper of the saint or title. Whenever no proper text is provided for a prayer or reading it should be taken from the appropriate Common.
