Is it necessary to go to Church on January 1? ? What holiday falls on January 1? January 1 is the first day of the New Year. In it we celebrate the fact of the beginning of a new period in our earthly life. But is it necessary to go to Church on January 1? Of course, Masses are celebrated in every Church on January 1. However, just as with May 3 or November 11, January 1, or New Year's Day, is not a prescribed holiday. Therefore, Catholics are not obliged to attend Mass, unless the day happens to fall on a Sunday. Then every Catholic is obliged to attend weekly Mass.
