Holy Day of Obligation Lifted for Solemnity of the Assumption of Mary

August 15 Solemnity of the Assumption of Mary Not a 2026 Holy Day of Obligation

Whenever August 15, the Solemnity of the Assumption, falls on a Saturday, the obligation to attend Mass is lifted. We will not offer a Mass of Anticipation for this holy day as a result.
