CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS WITH US AT
ST. ROBERT OF NEWMINSTER PARISH!
|
This year, Catholics around the world find themselves in a unique position where the vigil Masses for Christmas fall on a Sunday, also the Fourth Sunday of Advent. So, can you just attend a Christmas Eve Mass and call it a day? Simply put…the answer is no. Catholics should make every effort to attend two Masses—one to fulfill their Sunday obligation and one to fulfill their Christmas obligation. To take the guess work out of which Mass qualifies for which day, here’s a handy guide to help you!
