According to the strict letter of the law, one must be at Mass before the priest removes the veil from the chalice - in modern churches where chalice veils are no longer used, this means the beginning of the Offertory. If you are not present before this, you have not fulfilled your Sunday obligation and must attend the next Mass available that day as part of your Christian duty.
