The 2022-2023 Schedule of the Holy Days of Obligation in the United States

For those of you who are Catholics of the Latin/Roman Rite in the United States, here are the Holy Days of Obligation in the upcoming year (Besides, of course, all Sundays):

(Effective from Monday, December 27, 2021, to Monday, January 2, 2023)

NOTE: Unless otherwise noted, the day IS a Holy Day of Obligation. Moreover, unless stated otherwise, the year is presumed to be 2022.

Saturday, January 1: Mary, the Holy Mother of God (Note: NOT a Holy Day of Obligation, this year, because January 1 falls on a Saturday)

Thursday, May 26 (In the States of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont)/Sunday, May 29 (Everywhere else, in the United States (i.e., outside of the nine states, listed above)): The Ascension

Monday, August 15: The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Note: NOT a Holy Day of Obligation, this year, because August 15 falls on a Monday)

Tuesday, November 1: All Saints

Thursday, December 8: The Immaculate Conception

Sunday, December 25: Christmas

Sunday, January 1, 2023: Mary, the Holy Mother of God

As seen above, both December 25, as well as January 1, 2023, fall on Sundays, which means that the obligation to attend Mass for the Holy Day, and the Sunday obligation to attend Mass, coincide with each other. Resultantly, the faithful are only obligated to attend one Mass, on each of the weekends of December 24/25, and of December 31/January 1, 2023.
