Join us for our Christmas Eve and Day Masses:Sunday, December 24 at 4 p.m., 7 p.m. and Midnight
(please plan to arrive early for the 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. Masses for seating as they have high attendance).
Monday, December 25 at 9:30 a.m.
This year, the liturgical calendar presents us with a conundrum: What do we do when the Fourth Sunday of Advent and Christmas Eve fall on the same day, and the Nativity of the Lord falls the very next day? The Fourth Sunday of Advent is always the last Sunday before Christmas Day. So, many faithful may wonder which celebration they will encounter if they attend Mass on the evening of December 24: Fourth Sunday of Advent or Christmas Eve? Catholics are obliged to celebrate Mass for BOTH the 4th Sunday in Advent AND Christmas.
Fourth Sunday of Advent: Obligation may be fulfilled on Saturday, December 23 at the 5 p.m. Mass, or Sunday, December 24 at the 9:30 a.m. Mass (No 8:30 a.m. or 11 a.m. Mass on December 24).
Nativity of the Lord (Christmas): Obligation may be fulfilled from the evening 4 p.m., 7 p.m. and Midnight Mass Sunday, December 24 or through the 9:30 a.m. Mass Monday, December 25.
