December 25 is the Solemnity of the Lord's Birth and is a universal holy day of obligation for Catholics.
Catholics in the Archdiocese of Dubuque may excuse themselves from the obligation if they are
afraid of getting COVID, if they are frail from age or illness, caring for an infant or someone
who is sick or homebound, or if work and Mass schedules conflict.
Sunday, December 26 is a normal day of obligation for Catholics.
Here is a schedule of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day Masses in the Waterloo and Cedar Falls
