Special Duties of Catholics

1. To worship God by participating in Mass every Sunday and holy day of obligation in order to keep holy the day of the Lord's resurrection, and to rest from servile labor on these days.

2. To receive the sacrament of Reconciliation at least once a year; this continues the work of conversion in preparation for reception of the Eucharist.

3. To receive Holy Communion during the Easter Season (in the United States, this duty may be fulfilled between the first Sunday of Lent to Trinity Sunday); this guarantees reception of the Body and Blood of the Lord at the Paschal time, which is the heart of the Church's liturgy.

4. To observe the days of fasting and abstinence established by the Church. These penitential acts prepare us for the feasts of the liturgical year, as well as strengthen us spiritually.

5. To help to provide for the needs of the Church. This means that the faithful are to assist with the material needs of the Church, according to their ability.
