Its Sunday - the sabbath day.The Sabbath day is a Saturday. Sunday is the first day of the week which Catholics use has their Holy Day
I was raised Catholic, and I'm hereby confirming that the Sabbath Day is Saturday. Sunday is not nor ever was the Sabbath. Emperor Constantine did not call Sunday the Sabbath when he decreed it to be the day of rest; it's the day of the sun god, which had many worshipers in Constantine's time.
Why billions of so-called Christians for almost 17 centuries have gone along with Constantine is beyond me.
Since it is a Sunday there is already an obligation to go to Mass. The same rules apply.

.Roman Catholic AnswerThe Triduum, the shortest liturgical season of the year, starts with the beginning of the Mass of the Lord's Supper on Holy Thursday evening, and ends with the beginning of the Easter Vigil at dark on Holy Saturday evening. It includes Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday. None of those days are of Obligation.
Catholics are encouraged to attend Mass every Sunday, as it is a holy day of obligation. Some may also choose to attend Mass on weekdays as a way to deepen their faith and connect with God, but it is not mandatory.
Sunday is the Lord's Day and the day when Catholics are required to go to Mass. However, the Most Holy Eucharist is celebrated every day of the year (save Good Friday), and Catholics may attend all of those as well. The only days which are of obligation are all Sundays, the Solemnity of Mary, the Epiphany, the Ascension, the Assumption, All Saints Day, the Immaculate Conception, and Christmas Day. Outside of the United States, all of those days are of Obligation as well as the Feast of St. Joseph, Corpus Christi, Sts. Peter and Paul. If those fall on a non-Sunday, then they are a "Holy Day of Obligation" as well.
