The Three-Day Weekend

First Friday (Sacred Heart Community Mass), which is also the feast of St. John Vianney, plus this weekend, in which we celebrate the fixed date (August 6) feast of the Transfiguration of Our Lord, which trumps the 18th Sunday of the Year.  (The Gospel reading for the Transfiguration is very much similar to that of the Second Sunday of Lent.)
