We will have a home Mass on a Saturday evening offered for a family member who passed away a few months ago. Will this Mass fulfill the Sunday obligation?
The obligation of assisting at Mass is satisfied wherever Mass is celebrated in a Catholic rite either on a holy day itself or on the evening of the previous day (canon 1248 §1, Code of Canon Law).
