[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Weekday Mass is not a substitute for the Sunday obligation so that's not an answer to your observations. [/b]

At our Church there's a fairly sizable group of retired/senior citizens who go daily. 
There are also groups that go (Legion of Mary, Widow/Widowers' Group, Moms' Group, AM Bible Study, etc) that go to Mass first then meet up afterwards.[/quote]

Interesting. Thanks. I didn't know that. Can you elaborate on why that is?[/quote]

Are you not Catholic?[/quote]

I am. When we were supposed to learn a weekday Mass isn’t a substitute for missing Sunday Mass? Maybe it’s one of those goes without saying things most people just know. I don’t know. There’s also a Saturday afternoon Mass, which I believe is a permissible substitute for Sunday Mass.[/quote]

It’s a really fundamental concept in the Catholic Church.  There’s no way that you are Catholic and don’t know that.  [/quote]

New poster. I had a good friend who was a convert to Catholicism and somehow didn’t know about the Sunday obligation. She loved the calm, quiet daily masses and actually preferred to skip the noisy Sunday masses. We friends filled gently her in about the obligation. [/quote]

We've always gone to Sunday Mass for over 55 years of my life. Sorry, I honestly can't recall a moment that anyone actually explained to me that a weekday Mass isn't a substitute for missing a Sunday Mass. It's really just not something I've ever given mind share to.[/quote]
