Has the Feast be restored as a day of obligation on the Latin calendar in the U.S.?

It's on the liturgical calendar but it's not a day of obligation for Latin Catholics in the United States.

The diocesan announcement is here: http://www.diocese-sacramento.org/Lena, I think I'll be there. They do this every year, but I haven't made it yet. I think this will be there year. I wonder why they're having it at St. Anthony. Isn't is usually at the Cathedral? Also, doesn't the Bishop usually attend vespers at Annunciation Greek Orthodox church as well? I haven't seen that advertised yet.

Hi Elizabeth, we are hoping to go as well. It will be nice to catch up if we can. I'm not exactly sure why they're having it at St. Anthony, especially considering that the location isn't nearly as convenient for most people compared to the Cathedral. However, the parking is free and abundant, which is always a plus in my book!
