If kids go to Catholic, is family expected to attend mass on Sundays?

I attend virtually. My parish has at least one virtual option. Does that count? If not, why do they have it?

How little do you know about your church? Why would you need to ask that here? If you actually attend you would know the answer. Why do people pretend to be Catholic here just to bash?

My kindergartener's Catholic school goes very heavy on religious education, which I love. Last night she explained to me what she's been learning about God and the Holy Trinity at school. I'm legitimately puzzled why anyone would want daily religious education and prayer for their child if practicing the faith isn't a priority for their family. It would be like someone who never listens to music sending their child for intensive classical violin lessons, or a person who has no interest in sports signing their kid up for a travel soccer team.

Because parochial school is cheaper than other private schools.

Yet there are completely free schools that could care less if you go to church and would actually prefer you didn’t. Those are the schools for OP.

Um, plenty of parents do these.

Would you consider sending your child to an Islamic school if it offered tuition that was comparable to a Catholic school?

I would do neither as they are both indoctrination centers.

No, because (I assume) I do not believe in Islamic values. Half my family is Catholic, half Protestant.

Lot of white, non mandarin or non Spanish speaking parents send their kids to schools that are Chinese or Spanish immersion.

Why do they do that? To learn the language? Less expensive private school tuition subsidized by Spanish or Mandarin speakers?

It’s intended for the elderly and people with health problems who can’t go in person. If you are able to go, you are expected to.

Where is this written? Or are you just making it up?

Ask your priest.

This is a dumb thread. It doesn’t matter bc there’s no way for them to enforce it in any event. So who cares what they “expect.” They can “expect” you to do a lot of things to get the parishioner rate but if they can’t verify it, who cares??

Why would you lie to use it then? Just pay the non-parishioner rate and be an honest person.
