有時,這慶日是day of obligation(中文?),有時又不是.如果是周日,當然是,但如果時周一至五哩?
2005是周六,又是否day of obligation?

I happen to find some relevant info on the web. It is as follows:
The 1983 Code of Canon Law for the Latin rite specifies 10 holy days of obligation: January 1, Epiphany, St. Joseph, Ascension, Corpus Christi, Sts. Peter and Paul, Assumption, All Saints, Immaculate Conception and Christmas.
That same Code allows episcopal conferences, with prior approval of the Holy See, to suppress certain holy days of obligation or transfer them to a Sunday (Canon #1246:2).
The Holy See requires that in each country Christmas and one feast of Mary be observed on the actual date as holy days of obligation. The U.S. bishops have designated the Immaculate Conception, our patronal feast on December 8, as our Marian feast.
If it or Christmas falls on a Saturday or a Monday, they are always holy days of obligation in the United States. If January 1, Assumption or All Saints falls on Saturday or Monday, they are not holy days of obligation that year.
In 1993 the bishops of Alaska, Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Montana, Utah, Nevada and Hawaii sought and received the Holy See𠏋 permission to transfer Ascension Thursday to the following Sunday for a trial period of five years. That permission was renewed in 1998.
On November 16, 1998, the U.S. National Conference of Catholic Bishops approved a resolution that a majority vote of diocesan bishops in each ecclesiastical province would determine if the feast of Ascension is transferred to the following Sunday.
That decision was confirmed by the Holy See. There are 31 Latin-rite ecclesiastical provinces in the United States.
As of March 15, 2000, I know that bishops in Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee, Wyoming, Colorado and Texas have sought and received permission to transfer Ascension to the following Sunday, starting this year.
In recent years in the United States, the feasts of Epiphany and Corpus Christi have been transferred to Sunday. The feasts of St. Joseph and Sts. Peter and Paul have not been holy days in the United States for many years.
The precepts of the Church are interpreted by the Church𠏋 legitimate authority𡟙n this case, by the Holy See and the bishops?conferences.

That's great - thanks a lot for the useful information.
I wonder, if the Mother of God solemnity is not a day of obligation in our diocese, what other Marian feast are we observing for this purpose? The Assumption (15.8)? The Immaculate Conception (8.12)?

此問題其實牽涉到一個教會法的"應用"問題,即dispensation.
停工休假日是disciplinary laws, 按can87.教區主教可以"寬免"他"司法管轄區"內的天主子民遵守的義務,就如每星期五的小齋.
又法典無說一定要有一個"聖母慶節"是停工休假日,所以不知該網的聲稱從何以來,是否有法律效力,而且就算是有,按can87,主教仍可寬免之.
另外,不知大家有否發現,在香港大部份"停工休假日"已轉移到星期日舉行.

請問,為何悼亡節不移到十一月三日呢?
這日子'大'還是主日大?

General Norms for the Liturgical year and the Calendar. #58:
"For the pastoral advantage of the people, it is permissible to observe on the Sundays in Ordinary Time those celebrations that fall during the week and have special appeal to the devotion of the faithful, provided the celebrations take precedence over these Sundays in the Table of Liturgical Days." <---And All Soul Day is one of those days.
Could this answer your question, Cecillia?

Oh, I see, that's why we have the commemoration of the faithful departed this Sunday. We can attend 3 masses. And next week will be St. John at Lateran's celebration. It is rather unusal this year that many feastdays usually observed during weekdays fall within the O.T. Sundays.
