Add article description

A votive office was a Roman Catholic practice to celebrate particular feasts that are not in the Catholic liturgical calendar.[1]

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.[2]
