Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception

Solemnity of Immaculate Conception
(NOT a Holy Day of Obligation)

Dispensation given in 2024 in the Diocese of San Jose from the obligation to attend the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception Masses.

“…given the relatively short notice of this clarification, in the Diocese of San Jose, in accordance with Canon 87, §1, I am granting a dispensation, this year only, to the Catholic Faithful from the obligation to attend Mass on Monday, December 9. While the obligation will no longer be in effect this year, I encourage those who are able to attend Mass on this holy day, as a way to honor the Blessed Mother and to ask for her intercession for our country.”

What is a Holy Day of Obligation?

A Holy Day of Obligation is a religious feast day where Catholics are obligated to attend Mass. On Sundays and other holy days of obligation, the faithful are to refrain from engaging in work or activities that hinder the worship owed to God, the joy proper to the Lord’s Day, the performance of the works of mercy, and the appropriate relaxation of mind and body.

Family needs or important social service can legitimately excuse from the obligation of Sunday rest.
