A High Mass will be offered at 10 a.m. on Monday, January 1, 2024, the Octave of the Nativity. The Veni Creator (the hymn to the Holy Ghost) will be sung before Mass to invoke God’s protection and guidance in the new year. The faithful may gain a plenary indulgence under the usual conditions by assisting at the Veni Creator.
Because January 1st falls on a Monday, the obligation to attend Mass that day is not in effect for 2024. This is particular law in the United States, as decreed by the Conference of Bishops.
