*Notes:

St. Vincent is moved to Jan. 23 in the USA to avoid conflict with the new "Day of Prayer" on Jan. 22; both St. Vincent and St. Marianne Cope are "Optional Memorials."
St. Damien de Veuster (May 10) is listed in the 2004 Sacramentary Supplement as "Blessed Damien Joseph de Veuster of Moloka'i", but he was canonized (named a "Saint") in 2009 and the name was officially shortened in 2010.
St. Irenaeus of Lyon (June 28) was previously called "bishop and martyr"; Pope Francis also declared him a "Doctor of the Church" on Jan. 21, 2022.
St. Elizabeth of Portugal, July 4 on the universal calendar, is moved to July 5 in the USA to avoid conflict with the celebration of Independence Day.
St. Camillus de Lellis, July 14 on the universal calendar, is moved to July 18 in the USA to avoid conflict with the obligatory "Memorial" of St. Kateri Tekakwitha.
St. Mary Magdalene (July 22) was upgraded from a "Memorial" to a "Feast" by Pope Francis on 6/3/2016.
Sts. Mary and Lazarus of Bethany were added to the Memorial of St. Martha (July 29) by Pope Francis on 1/26/2021.
St. Jane Frances de Chantal was Dec. 12 on the universal calendar, but moved to Aug. 18 in the USA to avoid conflict with Our Lady of Guadalupe; it has now been moved to Aug. 12 on the universal calendar (and in the USA).
St. Peter Claver (Sept. 9) was previously a "Memorial" for the USA, but is now added to the Universal Calendar of the Catholic Church.
St. Paul of the Cross, Oct. 19 on the universal calendar, is moved to Oct. 20 in the USA to avoid conflict with the obligatory "Memorial" of Sts. Isaac Jogues, John de Brebeuf, and companions (the "North American Martyrs").
St. Pio of Pietrelcina (Sept. 23) and St. Andrew Dung-Lac (Nov. 24) are obligatory "Memorials" on the universal calendar (i.e. for the world-wide Church);
Jan. 4, Jan. 5, July 14, Sept. 9, Oct. 19, and Nov. 13 are "Memorials" in the USA, but optional in other countries; all other saints and blesseds listed above are "Optional Memorials" (both in the USA and elsewhere).
Our Lady of Guadalupe (Dec. 12) was previously considered a "Memorial" (with Common texts), but is now upgraded to a "Feast" with Proper texts.
