Since Christmas falls on a Monday this year, Catholics have two obligations to fulfill from December 23rd & 24th (Fourth Sunday of Advent) to December 25th (Christmas). Please see the visual chart to help you with the Holy Days of Obligations.


About Holy Days of Obligation

On Sundays and other holy days of obligation, the faithful are to refrain from engaging in work or activities that hinder the worship owed to God, the joy proper to the Lord’s Day, the performance of the works of mercy, and the appropriate relaxation of mind and body.

Family needs or important social service can legitimately excuse from the obligation of Sunday rest.

The faithful should see to it that legitimate excuses do not lead to habits prejudicial to religion, family life, and health [CCC 2185].
