Hello,

I understand that this year, because All Saints Day falls on a Saturday, it is abrogated. Does this mean that we will celebrate the masses for *both *All Saints Day *and *All Souls Day next Sunday, 2nd November?

Thank you and God bless you!

Hi,

The solemnity of All Saints has NOT been abrogated this year because it falls on a Saturday. It will still be celebrated. What has been abrogated in the United States is the obligation for the faithful to attend Mass on that day. But I encourage everyone to attend Mass on that day anyway. It won’t kill anybody (including us priests) to have two days of obligation next to each other! The Commemoration of All Souls will take place on Sunday.

Fr. Vincent Serpa, O.P.
