[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Uh, when I was growing up, we went to mass on SUNDAY.  What happened to that? When did we start doing mass twice a week now? Why not three times a week? Or every morning before classes?

Or are Friday masses during school intended to be a substitute for Sunday mass, so parents can sleep in? [/quote]

Friday mass is not a substitute for Sunday mass.  If you don’t know that you honestly have no business chiming in on this thread. [/quote]

Why not? I don’t recall a commandment that says “though shall honor Fridays.”  So where is Friday Mass coming from? To give teachers a break?  (Asking as a 40-year Catholic). [/quote]

I think the belief is that weekly mass as a school helps to reinforce the students' faith and what they have been learning in religion class. Friday mass cannot be a substitute for Sunday, as Sunday is the Sabbath, and it must be kept holy per the Ten Commandments. Going to mass on another day of the week does not honor the obligation to keep the Sabbath holy. [/quote]
