Catholics observe Sunday because, from Apostolic times, Christians used Sunday as a celebration of Jesus' resurrection.

The 7th day of the week, also known as the Sabbath, was (and still is) kept by the Jews. The Bible shows that the Sabbath is a sign of the Old Covenant, which was limited to Israel. There is also no evidence that the Sabbath was carried over into the New Covenant, or that any of the Apostles considered the day important. They used the name as part of their vocabulary, and they evangelised the Jews at their gatherings on this day, but there is no evidence they observed it themselves. The only clear evidence of a weekly Christian gathering is 1 Corinthians 16:2, where Christians gave offerings on the first day, most logically when they got together, so Paul wouldn't have to hold a collection when he arrived.

Various analogies can be found in the writings of the early Christians, including the Bible:

Old Covenant (Sabbath) vs New Covenant (Sunday)

Rest on earth (Sabbath) vs final rest in Christ (Sunday)

Old creation where man sinned (Sabbath) vs new creation freed from sin (on Sunday)

7th day (Sabbath) vs progression to 8th day (Sunday)
