Holy Days of Obligation and Feast Days

Holy days of obligation (also known as feasts of precept) are days when the faithful are obliged to participate at Mass and abstain from unnecessary work or other activities which hinder the suitable relaxation of mind and body. Each Sunday is a holy day of obligation, and six Solemnities are also observed as feasts of precept in the United States.  Here you will find the Holy Days of Obligation Mass Times (as soon as they are determined) as well as future dates of Holy Days and some of the Feast Days.

To celebrate the Solemnity of All Saints, we invite you to come dressed as your favorite saint, armed with a basic knowledge of that saint’s life, and a desire to have faith, fun, and food with your fellow saints in training. All ages are invited to dress up.  Don’t make it expensive, make it creative. There are a million things in your home, in your closets, in your drawers and in your garages that can be purposed for portraying our multitude of Holy Saints. As always, three CASH prizes will be awarded. Best Costume, Most Creative Costume, and Judges Favorite. You are WELCOME to attend Mass dressed as your saint. The festivities will begin immediately after Mass for the Saints. There will be warm bowls of chili, lots of candy, and drinks (no not those kind of drinks). Games will be had and fun for all ages shall ensue!
