Catholic feast

Holy day observance

A Catholic feast is a day set aside for celebrating a saint, event, or mystery of the faith—Christmas, Easter, the Assumption, and hundreds of saints' days throughout the liturgical calendar.

Feasts range from minor observances to major holy days of obligation requiring Mass attendance.

The parish organized a procession for the feast of Corpus Christi.
