[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Notice how most of these posts (likely from the same person) don’t actually defend Mass on Fridays or attempt to persuade anyone why Friday Mass is a good idea or important for a Catholic education.

Instead, all they do is (a) repeat how “every other school goes to mass weekly,” or (b) scream, “it’s always been like that, so if you don’t like it, leave!”

Sad. But I guess that’s the sort of critical-thinking skills you get when you spend much of k-8 going to mass and assemblies and parties rather than on academics. [/quote]

Unclear why you think anyone is required to persuade you of the value of the school community coming together to for Mass and to share the gifts of grace once per week.

Once again, just more deflection and flimsy responses.  No substantive argument at all.

And nobody has a problem with the community coming together for mass once a week. It’s called Sunday Mass.  Sorry you wouldn’t be able to sleep in. [/quote]

The school community is a different community than the one that gathers on Sunday. A weekday school Mass provides special graces specific to that community.

Where’s the deflection?

Why do you send your children to a school you do not respect or trust?
