let_go_let_God Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 In the US Immaculate Conception is a Holy Day of Obligation. Occasionally if it falls on a Saturday or a Monday it will be moved to the weekend but it is a HDO. God bless- LGLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmilyAnn Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) I tried looking at the USCCB and according to [url="http://foryourmarriage.org/what-are-holy-days-of-obligation/"]this[/url] it is a Holy Day of Obligation.

TheresaThoma Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Hmm I can't think of any off the top of my head. At my other university the first student Mass of the year almost seemed like a HDO because pretty much everyone went (the free ice cream afterwards didn't hurt either. Ted Drews.... yummy....) Though when I first converted I was pretty much going to Mass on a daily basis, So if it was a HDO I was already going anyways thus it wasn't a big deal to make sure I went to Mass. But then I would get confused because of the thing about if a HDO lands on a Monday or a Sat it wasn't a HDO for that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
let_go_let_God Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 On a Saturday it's because they roll it into the Sunday obligation because in most parishes are already offering mass on that Saturday evening. Mondays are a bit trickier. As I've heard, in the United States, many priests have Mondays as their days off. So to respect their right and need for rest they bump it back to the Sunday.

Byzantine Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 [quote name='FutureSister2009' timestamp='1330096829' post='2392234'] I really thought the Immaculate Conception was. What about Christmas? I've always been confused about whether or not it was [/quote] It is for Roman Catholics and I think even Ukrainian Catholics in the United States, but not for Byzantine Catholics.

Totus Tuus Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I never really thought they were, but it's surprising to me that Ash Wednesday and Good Friday aren't HDOs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
