Eastertime or Eastertide, lasts for fifty days. Easter Sunday is to the year what Sunday is to the week. We live as if God’s Kingdom has already come - because it has. We put aside our fasting and celebration. We bless ourselves with baptismal water to remind us of our share in Jesus’s

Passion, Death, and Resurrection. “Alleluia” is our song because we are delighted to praise

the Lord. The stories we read from Scripture are of Thomas’s and Mary Magdalene’s

encounters with the Risen Lord, of meals with Jesus, of the Good Shepherd, and of the

outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

Holy days of obligation are days of the year when Catholics must attend Mass in addition to

the normal Sunday Mass. The United States has six holy days of obligation:

December 8th: The Feast of the Immaculate Conception.

December 25th: Christmas, the Nativity of Our Lord.

January 1st: The Solemnity of Mary, the Mother of God

Thursday, May 29th

: 40 days after Easter Sunday, Ascension Thursday

Friday, August 15th: the Assumption of Mary into Heaven

Saturday, November 1st, 2014: All Saint’s Day

January 1st, August 15th

, November 1st and December 8th are Holy Days of Obligation except

when they fall on a Saturday or a Monday. Then they are ABROGATED, which means they

are a holy day but there is no obligation to go to Mass.

In the United States, Christmas Day, December 25th is always a holy day of obligation, even

when it falls on Saturday or Monday, and the Immaculate Conception, December 8, is always

a Holy Day except when it falls on a Sunday. The reason is that Christmas and Easter are the

highest-ranking holy days, and the Immaculate Conception is the patronal feast for the United

States.

Holy days are like Sundays in that Catholics must attend Mass, and if possible, refrain from

unnecessary servile work. Some Catholic countries, such as Italy, Spain and Ireland, give

legal holiday status to some of these holy days, so people can attend Mass and be with family

instead of at work. Ash Wednesday is not a Holy Day of Obligation.

The obligation to go to Mass depends on the Country that you find yourself in at the time. For

example, if you are in Italy on March 19th, it is a Holy Day for you or if you are in the United

States on March 19th, St. Joseph Day is not a Holy Day of obligation to go to Mass.

THE NEXT HOLY DAY OF OBLIGATION IS: Thursday, May 29th
