Solemnities, feasts, memorials, and saints of the day from the General Roman Calendar, with holy days of obligation for USA, Italy, and Spain.
Note: This is a static calendar — it will not auto-update. No official or third-party .ics source allows filtering out ordinary weekdays (e.g., "Friday of the 5th Week of Lent"). All include every day of the year. This custom calendar shows only named celebrations — saints, feasts, solemnities, and memorials — with short saint bios and holy day of obligation notations.
