Votive office

A votive office was a Roman Catholic practice to celebrate particular feasts that are not in the Catholic liturgical calendar.{{CathEncy|wstitle=Votive Offices}}

Votive offices became so common from 1883 that there were only around three weeks in which they could not be used.

These were abolished by Pope Pius X in 1911 by the Apostolic Constitution Divino Afflatu.{{Cite web|url=https://www.newliturgicalmovement.org/2009/11/compendium-of-reforms-of-roman-breviary.html#.YSisdo5KjIU|title = Compendium of the Reforms of the Roman Breviary, 1568-1961: Part 7.2 - the Breviary Reforms of St. Pius X (Continued)}}
