La santa madre Iglesia considera deber suyo celebrar con un sagrado recuerdo en días determinados a través del año la obra salvífica de su divino Esposo. Cada semana, en el día que llamó «del Señor», conmemora su Resurrección, que una vez al año celebra también, junto con su santa Pasión, en la máxima solemnidad de la Pascua. Además, en el círculo del año desarrolla todo el misterio de cristo, desde la Encarnación y la Navidad hasta la Ascensión, Pentecostés y la expectativa de la dichosa esperanza y venida del Señor. Conmemorando así los misterios de la Redención, abre las riquezas del poder santificador y de los méritos de su Señor, de tal manera que, en cierto modo, se hacen presentes en todo tiempo para que puedan los fieles ponerse en contacto con ellos y llenarse de la gracia de la salvación

Canon 1246, §2 – Holy Days of Obligation

On December 13, 1991 the members of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops of the United States of America made the following general decree concerning holy days of obligation for Latin Rite Catholics:

In addition to Sunday, the days to be observed as holy days of obligation in the Latin Rite dioceses of the United States of America, in conformity with canon 1246, are as follows:

January 1, the solemnity of Mary, Mother of God

August 15, the solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Whenever January 1, the solemnity of Mary, Mother of God, or August 15, the solemnity of the Assumption, or November 1, the solemnity of All Saints, falls on a Saturday or on a Monday, the precept to attend Mass is abrogated.

This decree of the Conference of Bishops was approved and confirmed by the Apostolic See by a decree of the Congregation for Bishops (Prot. N. 296/84), signed by Bernardin Cardinal Gantin, Prefect of the Congregation, and dated July 4, 1992.

As President of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops, I hereby declare that the effective date of this decree for all the Latin Rite dioceses of the United States of America will be January 1, 1993, the solemnity of Mary, Mother of God.
