Feasts of Obligation
Feasts of Obligation. In the RC Church, feasts of outstanding importance which the laity as well as the clergy are obliged to observe by hearing Mass on the day itself or on the previous evening and by abstaining from ‘work or business that would inhibit the worship to be given to God, the joy proper to the Lord's Day, or the due relaxation of mind and body’.
