Let's discover, let's explore

What Are the Days That We are Required to Attend Mass?

On December 13, 1991 the members of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops of the United States of America made the following general decree concerning holy days of obligation for Latin Rite Catholics:

In addition to Sunday, the days to be observed as holy days of obligation in the Latin Rite dioceses of the United States of America, in conformity with canon 1246, are as follows:

- All Sundays 

- January 1, the solemnity of Mary, Mother of God

- Thursday of the Sixth Week of Easter, the solemnity of the Ascension

- August 15, the solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

- November 1, the solemnity of All Saints

- December 8, the solemnity of the Immaculate Conception

- December 25, the solemnity of the Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ

Whenever January 1, the solemnity of Mary, Mother of God, or August 15, the solemnity of the Assumption, or November 1, the solemnity of All Saints, falls on a Saturday or on a Monday, the precept to attend Mass is abrogated.

  "Sir, do you still believe in such outdated things?" the student inquired. 

     "Yes, I do. Don't you?" the man responded. The student laughed and admitted, "I do not believe in such silly things. Take my advice. Throw the rosary out the window and learn what science has to say about it."     "Science? I do not understand this
