Her sponsors did not do a good job preparing her to convert. |
My mother attends weekday mass. She and her old lady friends go out for brunch afterward. |
There's a usual crowd. Some people go every day. Over the years I have seen different groups go on different days - like the ladies club would go to mass on Wednesdays or a bunch of golfing buddies would go to mass and then golf on Thursdays.
No, weekday does not fulfill your obligation, but I have gone on a weekday when I have missed Sunday mass...because it's something. The Saturday vigil mass fulfills your Sunday obligation - not the Saturday morning mass. |
Hand to God I did not know this! ![]() |
My mom goes most days. We picked a Catholic long term care facility specifically to accommodate this. If I am free during the week, I will go with her.
One of my kids chose to go 2-3 days a week in ES. Another has gone every Wednesday after the pandemic restrictions lifted. It’s on the way to work. DH sometimes goes during the week now that he WFH. |
Sound like you've got some confessing to do. |
Nope. You’re not going to convince me that any Catholic honestly thinks or thought that you can just pick any day of the week to go to church and then skip Sunday and you’re good. |
I hope the OP mentions this in confession. The priest will have a hearty laugh! |
You’re a Catholic and you don’t know that you have to go on Saturday night or Sunday? Keep holy the Sabbath. |
I see why people left Catholicism. Did Jesus say that you must come on Sundays and other masses “don’t count”? |
THE CHURCH says it. The other masses count, just not for your Sunday obligation. It's right there in the 10 commandments: Thou must honor the Sabbath. I guess some protestants don't think that means you have to go to church on Sundays. |
Certainly you did not go to catholic school. sounds like you didn't go to catechism either. Maybe teachers aren't emphasizing it any more. They should. |
