Catholic AnswerDifferent dioceses may have different regulations on when an anticipated Sunday or Holy Day Mass may be celebrated on the day before. It must be late Afternoon or evening, a Saturday Mass celebrated with the weekday (Saturday) readings does NOT count as your Sunday obligation. The important thing is whether the actual Mass being said is the Mass of Sunday or the Holy Day: i.e., it has three readings from the Sunday, the Gloria, Creed, etc. If the Sunday Mass is being celebrated, then it fulfills your obligation. If it is another Mass, say, perhaps a Saturday Mass being celebrated in the afternoon for a wedding, then it would not count for your obligation. If you have a particular question about a particular situation, please ask the priest who will be saying the Mass.
