Holy Days of Obligation
Here are our holy days of obligation:
- January 1 * – Mary, Mother of God
- August 15 * – Assumption of Mary
- November 1 * – All Saints
- December 8 – Immaculate Conception
- December 25 – Nativity of the Lord (Christmas)
There are also a couple of Holy Days that the US bishops have made permanently non-obligatory:
- March 19 – St. Joseph
- June 29 – Sts. Peter and Paul
Regardless of whether an obligation exists, there will still be Mass celebrated near you. Join the Church in celebrating our high holy days!
One of the precepts of the Church is to attend Mass every Sunday and every holy day of obligation. In addition, we should abstain from servile work on these days. These holy days are special to us as Christians. While the obligation does exist, it is better to think of them as a “holy day of opportunity!” Think of it as attending your best friend’s party—you wouldn’t want to miss it! These are days when the whole Catholic Church celebrates together.
There are five holy days of obligation that we observe in the USA. Some of them are always obligatory, and some are non-obligatory when they fall on a Saturday or Monday. That is a decision that each nation’s bishops’ conference makes.
In addition, some holy days are permanently moved to the closest Sunday, so the Holy Day obligation is covered by the Sunday obligation:
Epiphany is permanently moved to a Sunday
Ascension is permanently moved to a Sunday
Corpus Christi is permanently moved to a Sunday
Christmas is always obligatory. The Immaculate Conception is always obligatory unless December 8 is a Sunday. When that happens, the Immaculate Conception is celebrated on Monday, December 9 and there is no obligation to attend Mass. *The ones with an asterisk are not obligatory if they fall on a Saturday or Monday.
