My St. Joseph Sunday Missal (c) 1957 lists The Circumcision on Jan. 1 as Holy Day of Obligation.
My mom was pretty surprised when I told her as well...but she wasn’t born here and I think in most countries the Epiphany obliges instead.
AH, ok! Conclusive proof thanks!
I will share this info with my mother too. Odd, it really wasn’t stressed when I was growing up (and I went to a Catholic grade school)!
Thanks again,
