Introduction

Welcome to St Clare Parish in Houston, TX, a vibrant community where faith, fellowship, and worship come together. At Bible Baptist Church, we recognize the importance of the Holy Days of Obligation in the Catholic liturgical calendar. Join us as we celebrate these special occasions throughout the year, deepening our faith and reflecting on the richness of our beliefs.

What Are Holy Days of Obligation?

The Holy Days of Obligation are specific days on which Catholics are required to attend Mass and actively participate in the liturgical celebrations. These days hold great significance as they commemorate important events in the life of Jesus Christ, His mother Mary, and the saints. By observing these days, we reaffirm our commitment to our faith and fully engage in the sacramental life of the Church.

The Holy Days of Obligation Calendar

Throughout the liturgical year, the Catholic Church designates several Holy Days of Obligation. Each of these days represents a unique aspect of our faith and provides an opportunity for deep spiritual reflection and worship. Here is the Holy Days of Obligation calendar for St Clare Parish in Houston:

  • The Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God: Celebrated on January 1st, this day honors the Blessed Virgin Mary as the Mother of Jesus and the Mother of God.
  • The Feast of the Assumption: Recognized on August 15th, this Holy Day commemorates the bodily taking up of Mary into heaven at the end of her earthly life.
  • All Saints' Day: Observed on November 1st, this day honors all the saints, known and unknown, who have attained heaven.
  • The Feast of the Immaculate Conception: Celebrated on December 8th, this day commemorates the belief that Mary was conceived without original sin.
  • Christmas Day: Celebrated on December 25th, Christmas is the most well-known Holy Day of Obligation, marking the birth of Jesus Christ.
  • The Feast of the Ascension: Celebrated on the Thursday, 40 days after Easter Sunday, this day commemorates the bodily ascension of Jesus into heaven.
