No “Two-for-One” Masses for Christmas
This year for Christmas falls on a Saturday. There is no “two-for-one” benefit of attending the Saturday night “vigil” Mass to fulfill Sunday’s Mass obligation. Christmas and Sunday (Hoy Family) are two separate Mass obligations.
Please note that the Saturday night “vigil” Mass can fulfill the Sunday obligation
ifone has already attended Mass earlier in the day on Saturday. If one attends Christmas Mass earlier in the day on Saturday evening to fulfill Sunday’s obligation, you may hear the prayers and readings for Christmas twice.
So, in making plans for Christmas, one must ask, “Which Mass will I attend for Christmas – a Mass on Christmas Eve, or on Christmas Day?” Then one must ask, “Which Mass will I attend for Sunday – a Mass on Saturday evening (after I have attended Mass on Christmas Eve or earlier on Saturday), or on Sunday itself?”
