I was wondering whether going to a Saturday Vigil Mass before a Holy Day of Obligation would fulfill the obligation. I know a Saturday Vigil Mass fulfills a regular Sunday’s obligation, but does it apply to Holy Days of Obligation as well?
Thanks,

Hi,

No; the Saturday vigil Mass is for Sunday. If there is a vigil Mass on the evening before a Holy Day, that Mass would satisfy the Holy day Mass obligation.
