Holy Days

Holy Days of Obligatation are important days in the Catholic Church that honor special events or special people. Throughout the year, there are specific feasts of Our Lord, Our Lady, and the saints that we observe a "solemnities." On these days,, Catholics are obliged to attend a holy day Mass on the day itself or a vigil Mass the evening before. That's why thse special days are called Holy Days of Obligation.
