- One row for each Sunday in this period, labelled with the corresponding feast from the liturgical calendar for England and Wales, and notes about other observances that day or in the coming week.
- Extra rows for any non-Sunday days when churches in Ireland are likely to have music.
- Two columns with the dates and names of the feast or liturgical calendar day.
- Three columns for your use. These are labelled Coordinator, Musician(s), Audio-visual. Change them to suit you team (eg you may need Choir Cantor, Animator, Organist, Worship Leader, etc)
You should review this against your country's liturgical calendar, and add your own feast days.
Things to note in this time period
These three months are the most demanding time of the year for church musicians: Lent starts in mid February, and the Easter Triduum is in the last week of March. The usual date for St Patrick's Day, 17 March, falls on a Sunday so will be officially moved probably to the following day. Practically in Ireland, this could be "interesting".Downloads

Why this three month period
Planning in these three-month periods fits both the liturgical and secular seasons:- Feb - Mar - April (includes Lent and Easter)
- May - Jun - Jul (spring / summer in Europe, winter in the southern hemisphere)
- Aug - Sept - Oct (Back-to-school = start of a new year in Europe)
- Nov - Dec - Jan (New Year and summer-holidays in the south, people get together in late January to plan for the rest of the year).
If this combination doesn't suit your church, then it may be better to use the blank music roster template.
