Today is a Holy Day of Obligation-- that means that Catholics are obliged to go to Mass today. No arguing. And unlike some Holy Days of Obligation, this one was not "transferred" to Sunday. Today is the day. Go.

Nearly every parish has a rigorous Holy Day schedule-- it's even pretty common to have noon Masses that Catholics can attend on their lunch breaks. That's what I'm going to do today.

Go. It is obligatory. This is one of those "price you pay for being Catholic" days.
