Holy Days of Obligation in the United States

Holy Days of Obligation are those feasts among the solemn feasts that the faithful are required to observe by attending Mass and resting as much as possible from unnecessary work. In addition to Sundays, the days observed as Holy Days of Obligation in the Latin Rite dioceses of the United States, in conformity with Canon 1248, are as follows:

Celebration of the Eucharist on the Lord’s Day	Sunday is to be observed as the foremost holy day of obligation in the universal Church (CCC 2191)
Solemnity of Mary Mother of God	January 1st. This feast celebrates Jesus’ naming, circumcision, and entrance into the Old Covenant Church on the 8th day after his birth and honors His Virgin Mother (Leviticus 12: 1-4, Luke 2:21)
Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord	40 days from Easter Sunday as the ancients counted (Acts 1:3). In the US this feast may be celebrated on the next closest Sunday, according to the discretion of the local Bishop
Solemnity of the Assumption of Mary Mother of God	August 15th. The Virgin Mary assumed body and soul into heaven.
Solemnity of All Saints	November 1st: Celebration of our brothers and sisters who have already entered the beatific presence of the Most Holy Trinity.
Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception	December 8th: The concept without original sin of Mary the Mother of God
Solemnity of the Christmas	December 25th: Celebration of the birth of the Savior
