If Rosh Chodesh is on Shabbat or Sunday then Yom Kippour Kattan is on Thursday.
In certain communities, Mincha (the afternoon prayers) on Yom Kippour Kattan includes prayers asking for repentance, so as to begin the new month with a "clean slate".
Some even have the custom to fast on Yom Kippour Kattan.
Tomorrow - Thursday - is Yom Kippour Kattan. Rosh Chodesh Tammuz will be on Shabbat and Sunday.
