Assumption of Mary - Holy Day of Obligation
Tomorrow is the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and it is a Holy Day of Obligation - all Catholics are required to attend the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

Collect of the Vigil of the Assumption (1962 Roman Catholic Daily Missal):

I was in a bind today that I really had no control over, yet, I feel guilty for not going.

First (since I am a recent revert) I was unaware that today was the celebration was the Assumption of Mary. My parish had Mass at 8:00am 9:15am and 7:00 pm. I found out about this Holdy Day around 10:00am, I had to go to work at 6:00pm. So I had no opportunity. Should I feel this guilty.

JP,

You had no way to attend Mass. Don't feel guilty. It was not your fault, so (in my humble opinion) you did not commit a sin in this instance.
