[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That seems like a reasonable compromise. The church can’t host two services on those feast days.

But I went to NCS, and we attended Cathedral service every Friday morning at a major tourist attraction open to the public. I guess attending a public Mass occasionally as a supervised, chaperoned group of students doesn’t seem that unusual to me. [/quote]

NP. How long ago was this?   I went to Catholic school and we never attended a public mass.  I feel this is a new thing but I am in my late 40s.

Personally I have a problem with the fact your parish priest does not know the holy days of obligation.  Ash Wednesday is NOT one and it seems ridiculous he does not know that. [/quote]
It was in the 90s, but NCS still has Friday morning Cathedral services, and the Cathedral is not closed to the public during them.

But it’s also not a Catholic school, nor a typical service. It’s not publicized as a parish service. It’s a school service, but held in a tourist attraction. Not that there were usually a lot of tourists at 10 am on Friday mornings, but it did happen. It’s not the same as students attending a public Mass, I was just explaining why my perspective might be different. [/quote]
