The External Solemnity of Corpus Christi is celebrated on June 3, ideally with an outdoor Eucharistic Procession. There is no commemoration of the Sunday in the festal Mass. The Office remains that of the Second Sunday after Pentecost. Consult the online ordo entry for May 31 for more information on the rubrics.

The External Solemnity of the Sacred Heart is celebrated on June 10. On the Feast itself (June 8) and/or on the following Sunday, the Litany of the Sacred Heart and the Act of Reparation to the Sacred Heart are recited before the Blessed Sacrament exposed. There is no commemoration of the Sunday in the festal Mass. The Office remains that of the Third Sunday after Pentecost.

The Nativity of St. John the Baptist is on Sunday, June 24, and takes precedence over the Sunday, which is commemorated in both the Mass and the Office. Bonfires are made on the Vigil in some places.

Feast of St. Barnabas, June 11. The Credo is said, even though the feast is only III class (this is one of two annual anomalies).

Funerals are not permitted this month on the Feast of the Sacred Heart.

Prayers for the General Chapter: From July 11 to 21, 2018, the fourth General Chapter of the Society will take place in Ecône. The Superior General has prescribed prayers that are to be recited daily in all the houses of the SSPX for six months before the beginning of the Chapter: the recitation of the Veni Sancte Spiritus to ask the Holy Ghost for enlightenment, and the invocation of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and St. Pius X to obtain their protection and intercession. The faithful and all men of good will are cordially invited to join in these prayers.

Veni, Sancte Spiritus, reple tuorum corda fidelium, et tui amoris in eis ignem accende. 
V. Emitte Spiritum tuum et creabuntur;
R. Et renovabis faciem terrae.
Oremus. Deus, qui corda fidelium Sancti Spiritus illustratione docuisti: da nobis in eodem Spiritu recta sapere, et de eius semper consolatione gaudere. Per Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen.
-Cor Immaculatum Mariae, ora pro nobis qui ad Te recurrimus.
-Sancte Pie decime, ora pro nobis.

Come Holy Ghost, fill the hearts of Thy faithful, and kindle in them the fire of Thy love. 
V. Send forth Thy Spirit, and they shall be created;
R. And Thou shalt renew the face of the earth. 
Let Us Pray: O God, Who didst instruct the hearts of the faithful by the light of the Holy Ghost, grant that by the same Spirit we may be truly wise, and ever rejoice in His consolation. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. 
-Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us who have recourse to thee. 
-St. Pius X, pray for us.
