VIGIL MASSES - for days of obligation we usually celebrate a Vigil (Anticipated) Mass at 5:30pm the evening prior. These Masses satisfy the obligation to attend a Holy Day Mass). But please double-check this page each time to be sure of our schedule for that day, as it can vary depending on the A&M calendar.
Morning Masses - if you need an early morning option, there is usually one available at St. Thomas Aquinas.
Exceptions to the obligation - whenever January 1, August 15, or November 1 fall on a Saturday or Monday it is not a day of obligation. (December 8 and December 25 are always days of obligation in the United States, regardless the day of the week).
