II class
White


General info:

Collects for Pope Leo XIV: today in all churches and in all Masses both High and Low, except those of the dead, the collect, secret, and postcommunion for the Day of the Coronation of the Pope are added under one conclusion with the those of the Mass (RG 364 and 449). The collects used can be those Pro Papa in Orationes diversae, as they are the same. There is no commemoration in the Divine Office. The II class votive Mass is not usually said outside of cathedrals. See additional information below.

Reminder:

These Mass collects will be added in like manner each year on May 18 for the anniversary. This time of year they could be impeded by Pentecost, Trinity Sunday, or the Ascension, in which case they would be used on the next day which is not first class (RG 363).

In cathedrals and parishes with a chapter of canons or equivalent religious (i.e., collegiate churches), the II class votive Mass is celebrated instead (RG 362), as also by consent of the Ordinary in individual churches holding special celebrations in honor of the Sovereign Pontiff (RG 365).
