Holy Days
The following feast days are currently holy days of obligation in the US:
- January 1: Solemnity of Mary
- May 29: Ascension — Celebrated on the sixth Thursday after Easter Sunday*
- August 15: Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary
- November 1: Solemnity of All Saints*
- December 8: Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary
- December 25: Christmas
*A bishop may transfer a holy day to a Sunday. This is the case in some US dioceses with the Ascension of Jesus, which may be transferred to the Seventh Sunday of Easter. Since Solemnity of All Saints falls on a Saturday this year, it may also be transferred to the closest Sunday.
