Did the Catholic Church change the sabbath day from Saturday to Sunday?

And God of the Sabbath is not the Lord of Sabbath? Yeshua said He was Lord of Sabbath.

Is that a trick question?

God is Lord of everything not just one day in seven but the Lord's day is the day on which the Lord Jesus Christ rose from the grave and so brought life, eternal life, to light for the faithful.

Nobody. Sabbath is still the 7th day. The Lord's day is Sunday.
Tell that to God and see what He says, He didnt change His mind no matter how much man wants to make it so

No that is quoting Yeshua... He said He is Lord of the Sabbath. Yeshua met with Moses on Mount Sinai and gave Him the Ten Commandments.

Exodus 20:10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

And in all three gospels Yeshua stated [speaking about Himself] that ... Matthew 12:8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.

Mark 2:28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.

Luke 6:5 And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.

Where does it state that He claims Sunday as His Day for worship? It doesn't. In the Hebrew mindset, "the Lord's Day" is about the Sabbath... The weekly Sabbath reflects in the millennium Sabbath rest. Both of which are the "Lord's Day".

So the next step is the references that are the excuses given for keeping Sunday...

Acts 20:7, “On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day.”

Let's back up a moment and get a picture of what is going on. 6 but we sailed away from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and in five days we came to them at Troas, where we stayed for seven days.

The Days of Unleavened Bread are seven days after Passover. The first and last days of the Feast of Unleavened Bread are Sabbaths. In the midst of the Feast of Unleavened Bread there is a weekly Shabbath. So five days after the Feast of Unleavened Bread was a Sabbath rest where they stayed a week [seven days] and remained there on the seventh day [Sabbath weekly Rest]. First day of the week begins at sundown after the Sabbath, which would not be considered first day by the Romans. So it was Saturday night after Sabbath services that Paul remained, breaking bread and continuing conversing with the believers which has happened in small Sabbath keeping groups even today. As soon as the sun rises Sunday morning Paul was on his way. No Sunday worship services here.

1 Corinthians 16:2, “On the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, as he may prosper, so that there will be no collecting when I come.”

It is understanding the Jewish mindset of not handling money on the Sabbath that gives rise to the directive to store up the each week what was gained that week for the collection which Paul was going to handle on Sunday. This is not a Sunday service but a regular Jewish tradition.
