HOLY DAYS OF OBLIGATION
In reality, we should embrace each day we spend on Earth as a holy day of obligation in which we worship, serve and give praise to our Lord. In the Catholic Church, holy days of obligation are feast days on which Catholics are required to attend Mass and to avoid (to the extent that they are able) servile work. The observance of holy days of obligation is part of the Sunday Duty, the first of the Precepts of the Church. There are currently ten Holy Days of Obligation in the Latin Rite of the Catholic Church; in the United States, only six Holy Days of Obligation are observed. Those six are identified in the chart below.
