Christmas Masses and Fourth Sunday of Advent
Dec
1. At the meeting of the Regional Catholic Bishops Conference of Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei in Majodi, Plentong from the 11-15 July 2016, it was confirmed that:
a) The Fourth Sunday of Advent is observed on 24 December 2017 at the morning masses and the sunset masses (anticipated) on December 23;
b) The Sunday evening Masses on December 24 is to be treated as the Vigil or night masses for the Solemnity of the Nativity of Our Lord.
2. It is strongly encouraged that the faithful attend masses on both days (Fourth Sunday of Advent and Christmas) unless there is a just reason that impedes them from doing so.
3. In the case of the faithful being unable to attend both days due to a just reason, they are to observe some special way to pray or perform works of piety and charity.
