Explainer From a news agency Context piece
  • Argentina’s September Catholic calendar includes commemorations of saints, martyrs and other central figures in Christian tradition.
  • Major observances include the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Saint Teresa of Calcutta and the feast of the Archangels Michael, Gabriel and Raphael.
  • More than one saint may be commemorated on a single day, often because the date marks a saint’s death, described as their “birth into heaven.”

The September Catholic calendar brings together dates dedicated to saints, martyrs and other central figures in Christian tradition. Among the month’s most important celebrations are the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the feast of Saint Teresa of Calcutta and the day dedicated to the Archangels Michael, Gabriel and Raphael.

More than one saint may appear on a single day. In many cases, the chosen date coincides with the saint’s death, understood in Catholic tradition as their “birth into heaven,” the moment when they joined God fully.

The calendar lists the saints, women saints and martyrs commemorated by the Catholic Church on each day of September, along with other notable dates in the liturgical calendar. The list is based on information from the Catholic news agency ACI Prensa.

Some celebrations stand out because of their popularity. Devotion to particular figures varies among their followers, in different parts of the world and according to the activities or causes associated with them. The Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary is commemorated on Sept. 8.
