What do Catholics do to honor the Sabbath?
The answer is yes and no. The Sabbath is actually Saturday and was the 'Day of the Lord' observed by the Jewish people. The newly founded Christian Religion chose Sunday as the Lord's Day because Our Lord rose from the dead on a Sunday, he appeared to the apostles on a Sunday and he sent the Holy Spirit to the apostles on Pentecost Sunday. The observance of the Lord's Day, Sunday, actually begins on Saturday evening and any Mass that a Catholic attends on Saturday evening meets the obligation to 'keep holy the Lord's Day.'

You can go to Mass as often as it is available throughout the day and as your duty of state allows.

In modern practice, some Catholics go to Mass on Saturday evening to fulfill their Sunday obligation. This is a contested issue, as some churchmen feel this is an abuse but it is widely practiced in many dioceses.
