Christmas and Solemnity of Mary Mass Times

All are welcome to attend Masses for Christmas and the Christmas season. Our parishes are ready to celebrate joyously, reverently and safely.

We sincerely wish you a Merry Christmas and a very safe, happy and healthy New Year!

Just like in 2017, the Fourth Sunday of Advent is celebrated on December 24, which may cause confusion among the faithful regarding the fulfilment of the Fourth Sunday of Advent and The Nativity of the Lord (Christmas) obligations. The obligation to celebrate the Fourth Sunday of Advent is separate and distinct from The Nativity of the Lord (Christmas) holy day of obligation. Some possibilities for fulfilling both obligations are:

Fourth Sunday of Advent + The Nativity of the Lord (Christmas)

  • 12/23 Saturday evening Mass + 12/24 Sunday evening Mass
  • 12/23 Saturday evening Mass + 12/25 Monday Mass at anytime
  • 12/24 Sunday morning Mass + 12/24 Sunday evening Mass
  • 12/24 Sunday morning Mass + 12/25 Monday Mass at anytime

*On January 1, 2024, the Church celebrates the Solemnity of Mary, The Holy Mother of God. Since the solemnity falls on a Monday, it is not a holy day of obligation this year in accord with the complementary norm to canon 1246 §2 confirmed for the dioceses of the United States of America. Masses that are available are listed below.
