Is All Saints’ Day a holy day of obligation?

In the Roman Catholic Church, All Saints’ Day, celebrated on November 1, is generally a holy day of obligation, meaning Catholics are required to attend mass. However, the obligation varies by country and may be waived when the holiday falls on a Saturday or Monday. For example, All Saints’ Day is not a holy day of obligation in Canada or Hong Kong.
