This Tuesday (15th August) is a day of obligation as the Church will be celebrating the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary also known as The Feast of the Assumption.
What does Holy day of Obligation mean?
Canon 1247 of the Code of Canon Law :Holy day of obligations are the days on which the faithful are required to participate in the Mass and abstain from such work or business that would inhibit the worship to be given to God, the Joy proper to the Lord's Day, or the due relaxation of mind and body.
What is the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary?
Newadvent.org, a catholic website says that this feast day has two objectives (1) the happy departure of Mary from this life; (2) the assumption of her body into heaven.
