The feast of the Epiphany may be observed on the Sunday before January 6 if that day is a weekday. Should that Sunday be 1 January, either the Naming of Jesus or the Epiphany may be observed. The Sunday after Epiphany is always observed as the feast of the Baptism of Christ.
The feast of the Dedication of a church, and the feast of its patron or title, may be observed on, or be transferred to, a Sunday, except in the seasons of Advent, Lent and Easter.
All other feasts of our Lord, and all Major Feasts appointed on fixed days in the Calendar, when they occur on a Sunday, are normally transferred to the first convenient open day within that week.
Harvest Thanksgiving may be observed on a Sunday as determined by local custom.

PRAYER ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF ORDINATION TO THE PRIESTHOOD
Almighty and everlasting God, who hast vouchsafed to call me, thy unworthy servant, to minister at thine altar, be merciful to my sins, and make me a fit minister to thee, that thou mayest graciously receive sacrifice at my hands, and number me amongst thy faithful priests. Let the holy office with which I have been invested, render me acceptable in thy sight, O Lord; and grant that, trusting in thy mercy, though in myself most unworthy, I may worthily partake of those holy mysteries, which I presume to celebrate; through Jesus Christ our Lord. A Amen.
Clerics in Holy Orders are reminded of their Ordination vow “Will you be diligent in prayer, both in public and in private, in the recitation of Morning and Evening Prayer, and in such things as may increase your love for God”. (CPWI BCP pg. 461)
