Catholics must attend Mass on the Solemnity of All Saints
First source report
The Solemnity of All Saints on November 1 is a feast day where Catholics are required to participate in Mass. According to kan. 1248 § 1, this requirement is met by attending a Mass celebrated in the Catholic rite on the feast day or on the evening of the preceding day.
Visiting cemeteries does not fulfill this requirement. On November 1, Masses are also celebrated at cemeteries, sometimes followed by processions.
