HOLYDAYS OF OBLIGATION

What is a "holyday of obligation"?   Click HERE to find out more...

Christmas: The Nativity of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ 

Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God – January 1 *

NOTE:  If January 1 falls on a Sunday, follow the Sunday Schedule above,
       except that there is NO 7:30 am Mass on New Year's Day.

Ascension Thursday – 40 days after Easter  (date varies)

The Assumption of Mary – August 15 *

All Saints’ Day – November 1 *

  8:00 am, 12:15 pm and 7:30 pm

   There is a Vigil Mass at 7:30 pm on the night before these feasts, unless the feast falls on a Monday or a Saturday, in which case the following exception applies...

* The Bishops of the United States have determined that when The Solemnities of Mary, Mother of God (January 1), the Assumption (August 15) or All Saints’ Day (November 1) fall on a Monday or a Saturday, Catholics are dispensed from the obligation to attend Mass.  The Church, nonetheless, still considers these to be days of special observance and Catholics are encouraged to attend Mass according to the normal weekday schedule (here at Saint Luke, 8:00 am).

Immaculate Conception – December 8

     Since Mary, under the title of the Immaculate Conception, is the patroness of the United States, this feast is not subject to the Monday/Saturday exception described above.
