La Barroux Supplemental Calendar

After an interaction between @DigestTom and @benedictus on Twitter, I decided to dig out my copy of the La Barroux diurnal and post its supplemental calendar.

Below is the Calendar of the Benedictine Confederation from the the 2002 edition of the La Barroux French-Latin Monastic Diurnal. This is technically a supplemental calendar because like the St. Michael's/Farnborough MD, the calendar in this diurnal follows the 1963 calendar. 

This supplemental calendar then is the current "Novus Ordo" version of the Benedictine calendar, at least since the publication of this particular diurnal in 2002. It also includes some feasts which are particular to France. These are indicated with the parenthetical (in France). I am unaware if the calendar of the Benedictine Confederation has been updated to include other saints. I assume it has been. 

Feasts shown in Bold Capitals are ranked Solemnity. Feasts shown in bold are ranked Feast. Feasts shown in regular font are ranked Memorial and feasts in italics are Optional Memorials.
