* Holy Day of Obligation that does not fall on Sunday.

** The Bishops' Committee on the Liturgy has provided the following guidelines:  If January 1, August 15, or November 1 fall on a Saturday or a Monday, the obligation to participate in Mass does not hold. When December 8 falls on a Saturday or a Monday, the obligation to participate in  Mass remains. When December 8 falls on a Sunday, the observance is transferred to Monday, December 9 and there is no obligation to participate in Mass.  (Although the "obligation" to participate in Mass is lifted, the feast of the day is still celebrated).

*** Please note that in the Diocese of Winona the Solemntity of the Ascension of the Lord is not celebrated on Thursday but on the following Sunday.
