CHRIST the KING
“Therefore, by our Apostolic authority, we appoint the Feast of Our Lord Jesus Christ the King, annually, on the last Lord’s day in the Month of October that is to say, on the Sunday which immediately precedes the Feast of All Saints, to be observed everywhere in the world.
Likewise we enjoin, that the dedication of the human race to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, be annually renewed upon that selfsame day.”
