OnlySunshine Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 (edited) I'm a little confused and I was hoping for someone to clear this up for me. I read on a respectable website that since the feast day of the Mother of God fell on a Saturday or Monday, the precept to attend Mass is abrogated (done away with or annulled). But, then, I saw that my Church has Mass times set up for tonight (Friday) and tomorrow morning for the feast day. I was a little concerned since I don't want to miss a required Holy Day. I am planning to attend Mass Saturday night because I have to work on Sunday for a contract position and since I need to do something tomorrow morning, I cannot attend unless it's required. Is Mass attendance for the Solemnity of the Mother of God required or not? Thanks! Edited January 1, 2011 by MaterMisericordiae Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeresaBenedicta Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 It's a holy day, but not a day of obligation. Our parish has Masses scheduled as well, since it [i]is[/i] still a holy day and many Catholics will still want to attend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was so worried that I was wrong. Like I said, I'm planning to go to Mass tomorrow night and I am also planning to go to Confession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I almost decided to go to a traditional Mass today, but now I'm about to walk out the door to the local parish Church. Alas, I am too sleepy..
