What is the Sunday obligation?
The Sunday obligation is a precept of the Church that asks the faithful to attend Mass on Sundays and on Holy Days of Obligation. It is rooted in the Third Commandment, "Remember to keep holy the Sabbath day," and in the Church's law. It answers our need for communal worship, to receive the Eucharist and to hear the Word of God. Missing Mass on these days without a serious reason, such as illness or real hardship, is a grave matter to bring to confession.
What are Holy Days of Obligation?
They are the most important feasts of the liturgical year besides Sunday, because of their central place in our faith. Holy day Mass times are announced in the bulletin and on Flocknote.
Why keep the obligation?
"Sunday is the day on which the paschal mystery is celebrated in light of the apostolic tradition and is to be observed as the foremost holy day of obligation in the universal Church."Catechism of the Catholic Church 2177
This practice of the Christian assembly dates from the beginnings of the apostolic age. The Letter to the Hebrews reminds the faithful "not to neglect to meet together, as is the habit of some, but to encourage one another" (CCC 2178).
"On Sundays and other holy days of obligation the faithful are bound to participate in the Mass." The obligation "is satisfied by assistance at a Mass which is celebrated anywhere in a Catholic rite either on the holy day or on the evening of the preceding day."Catechism of the Catholic Church 2180
