Occasion and source notes
This is a future grant period, beginning 15 May 2027. The official decree’s heading and body differ on the anniversary number; the record uses the documented place, work and explicit dates without resolving that editorial discrepancy.
Prayer texts and resources
Follow the prayer count and formula specified in the requirements. The two Creed readers are alternatives.
Source and exact reference
Prayer texts and grants have separate source histories. Consult the grant source for the prescribed work, occasion, and conditions.
