The Sundays after Pentecost
The season after Pentecost, according to the calendar of the church year, begins on the Monday following Pentecost, and continues through most of the summer and autumn. It may include as many as twenty-eight Sundays, depending on the date of Easter. This includes Trinity Sunday which is the First Sunday after Pentecost.
The Book of Common Prayer provides proper collects and readings for the other Sundays of the season. These propers are numbered and designated for use on the Sundays which are closest to specific days in the monthly calendar, whether before or after. For example, Proper 3 is designated for use, if needed, on the Sunday closest to May 25. Proper 29 is designated for use on the Sunday closest to Nov. 23.
Prior to the 1979 BCP, Sundays in this long period of the church year were identified and counted in terms of the number of Sundays after Trinity Sunday instead of the number of Sundays after Pentecost. This period is also understood by some as "ordinary time," a period of the church year not dedicated to a particular season or observance.

Saint of the Week:
Matthew, Apostle and Evangelist
21 September NT
Even though Saint Matthew was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ, and is credited as the author of one of the four Gospels, much of our information about him is uncertain. According to the three of the Gospels, a tax collector for the Romans called Matthew (or Levi, in the Gospels of Mark and Luke) was sitting by the customs house in Capernaum near the Sea of Galilee when Jesus called him into his service. According to the Gospel of Luke, shortly afterwards Matthew (or Levi) invited Jesus to dinner at his house, along with some of his fellow tax collectors. Because tax collectors were distrusted and despised by nearly everyone, the scribes and the Pharisees criticized Jesus for eating with tax collectors and sinners; whereupon Jesus answered, "I came not to call the righteous, but sinners" (Mark 2:15-17).
Other than including Matthew in the list of Apostles, the New Testament offers very little information about him. At least two early church fathers suggested that the Gospel of Matthew was originally written in Aramaic or Hebrew and later translated into Greek, but later scholars say it's more likely that it was originally written in Greek. It's not even certain that Matthew the Apostle wrote it; the superscription "according to Matthew" was added to its title in the 2nd century. Tradition notes Matthew's ministry in Judaea, and several ancient writers say he went on to preach in other lands, but they don't agree on which ones. The Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches honor Saint Matthew as a martyr, but there's no record of when he was martyred or where. His tomb is located in the crypt of Salerno Cathedral in southern Italy.
