In addition to every Sunday, the dioceses of the United States observe 6 holy days of obligation every year. If January 1, August 15 or November 1 fall on a Saturday or Monday, the day's feast is celebrated but the obligation to attend Mass that day is lifted. This weekend, the feast of the Assumption (August 15) falls on a Saturday so it will not be a day of obligation.
January 1:
Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God
40 days after Easter
or the Seventh Sunday of Easter
(as determined by the local ecclesiastical province
- follow the link for an interesting view of things!)
Solemnity of he Ascension of the Lord
August 15:
Solemnity of the Assumption of Blessed Virgin Mary
November 1:
Solemnity of All Saints
December 8:

December 25:
