We, the Catholic Community of Holy Family in Edinburg, Texas, gather together:
The Code of Canon Law of the Catholic Church says that there are nine holy days of obligation other than Sundays, but it also says that the local conference of bishops may suppress some of them or transfer them to a Sunday.
Bishops in the United States have suppressed the feast of Saint Joseph and the feast of Saints Peter and Paul as holy days of obligation. In addition, the feast of Epiphany is always celebrated on a Sunday in the U.S. In 2022, Christmas falls on a Sunday, December 25. Since all Sundays are obligatory, it’s not included in the list this year.
While Bishops have lifted the dispensations from the obligation to attend Mass that were in place for much of 2020 and 2021 due to the Coronavirus pandemic, one’s Sunday and Holy Day obligation can be dispensed for a just cause. This may include physical illness or having an inability to go to Mass, such as being the only caregiver for someone homebound. Catholics are encouraged to use their prudential judgment and guidance from their Priests in determining such a dispensation. You are always welcome to join the Oblates of the Virgin Mary community online at daily and Sunday virtual Masses.
