All Saints Day Holy Day of Obligation

11 Upvotes

Canonically I am Latin but for the past year I have been attending an Eastern Rite Parish while still following the Holy Days of Obligation in the Latin Rite. Since this All Saints Day this year falls on Sunday am I required to attend Mass rather than the Divine Liturgy? All other days of obligation have fallen on days other than Sunday or were also celebrated in the East on the same day but this is day stumped me.

Yes this is very real and true story I 33F found out that my whole life in the church is a lie. I take communion every service go to mass 3 times a week always considered myself a cradle catholic. Only for my mom to confess to me today she never baptized me at birth like I was told NOR, did I ever fully finish receiving first communion in second grade she pulled me the day of the ceremony. She gaslit me into thinking I did. However, I have been fully convinced and told I was. Until today when she decided to come clean. 2 days before my own child’s baptism! He is a month old
So now, you mean to tell me I have been receiving the Eucharist on a lie this whole time and I need to now make an appointment with my priest who I have known for quite sometime and just be like hey actually my whole life is a lie! Any advice on how to navigate this and cancel my son’s baptism? I literally feel like a sham
