Holy days of obligation are holidays, feast days and other days of celebration when a practicing Catholic is obliged to attend mass. Sometimes they can be cancelled or shifted to a Sunday. Canon 1246 of the Code of Canon Law: §1. Sunday, on which by apostolic tradition the paschal mystery is celebrated, must be observed in the universal Church as the primordial holy day of obligation. The following days must also be observed: the Nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ [Dec 25], the Epiphany [Jan 6], the Ascension [Thurs. of 6th week of Easter], the Body and Blood of Christ [Thurs following Trinity Sunday], Holy Mary the Mother of God [Jan 1], her Immaculate Conception [Dec 8], her Assumption [Aug. 15], Saint Joseph [Mar 19], Saint Peter and Saint Paul the Apostles [Jun 29], and All Saints [Nov. 1]. §2. With the prior approval of the Apostolic See, however, the conference of bishops can suppress some of the holy days of obligation or transfer them to a Sunday.
