If you attend a Saturday evening Mass, that counts as fulfilling your Sunday obligation. A Saturday morning or mid-day Mass does not. No, the Mass after dark on Holy Saturday (the Easter Vigil) is Easter "Sunday" Mass and fulfills your obligation.

Because of the central importance of Easter to the Christian faith, the Catholic Church requires that all Catholics who have made their First Communion receive the Holy Eucharist sometime during the Easter season, which lasts through Pentecost, 50 days after Easter. (They should also take part in the Sacrament of Confession before receiving this Easter communion.) This reception of the Eucharist is a visible sign of our faith and our participation in the Kingdom of God. Of course, we should receive Communion as frequently as possible; this "Easter Duty" is simply the minimum requirement set by the Church.
