Hi Friends,

I am trying to figure out when Advent is this year. Some sites say Dec. 3 and others Nov. 27. I am pretty sure it is supposed to be Dec. 3rd but sometimes the US is on a different schedule.

Thanks

Nov 27 is the feast of Christ the King

Dec 3 is the first Sunday of Advent

The US is not on a different schedule. The liturgical year is the same for all Latin Rite Catholics everywhere.

There may be variations in feast days celebrated in different locations, and in the extraordinary form.

Ugh…i found my mistake. I forgot the church year starts in the previous year and when I looked at the church year 2017 it actually started in Nov. 2016…I got it know. Thanks 1ke
 
If you know what day of the week Christmas is you can always figure it out. There are always 4 Sundays of Advent. This year Christmas falls on a Monday so Christmas Eve is the 4th Sunday of Advent. Working backwards, 24, 17, 10, 3.
