The Church divides the Gospel readings for each Sunday into three annual groups named A, B, and C. We focus on one group for an entire Liturgical Year—starting from the First Sunday of Advent and ending on the Solemnity of Christ the King. This cycle of groups repeats every three years.
Year A follows Matthew's Gospel, Year B generally follows Mark's, and Year C follows Luke's. Due to Mark's shorter Gospel length, the Church uses John, Chapter 6 to help bolster Year B. We also hear from John's Gospel during the seasons of Lent and Easter every year.
Below is a table showing in which calendar year the Church focuses on each Evangelist, starting from the time Holy Spirit Catholic Church began its online broadcasts.
