HOLY DAYS OF OBLIGATION The Bishops of England and Wales have decided to transfer to Sunday those Holy Days of Obligation which are Solemnities of the Lord (other than Christmas Day). This means that the Epiphany, the Ascension and Corpus Christi will now be celebrated on Sunday. These changes take effect on First Sunday of Advent. The current practice is retained with regard to other Holy Days of Obligation.
