Q: We will celebrate the Solemnity of the Assumption this year as a Holy Day of Obligation.
I do not set the Parish calendar, but I have noticed that we never have a Vigil Mass scheduled for days of obligation. Are we not obliged (no pun intended) to provide a Vigil Mass?

A: No vigil Mass is required for the Assumption. In my parish this year we’re offering Masses only on August 15 as well.
