And do kids go to hell if they miss a school mass (without a good excuse, of course, acceptable to God and/or the Catholic school)?[/quote]

Yes .  Missing mass is a mortal sin.[/quote]

I know you are joking but daily mass is not required except holy days of obligation (and Sundays). Some idiots on here will think you mean it.[/quote]

Not Joking.  If the kids are ordered to go, it's a mortal sin to not go.

That’s not how it works. [/quote]

That's how it works -- when a superior orders you to do something, it's a mortal sin to refuse.[/quote]
The principal of my children's Catholic school is a priest, and two of the teachers are nuns. The school has weekly mass. My kids have missed school mass plenty of times over the years - probably one or two per school year - for appointments, illness, etc. and it has NEVER been an issue.[/quote]

Sure, but that’s different from the militant PP who seems to be implying that she does not want her children at weekly Mass as prescribed by her Dioceses for her school. [/quote]
I did not get that implication at all. [/quote]

Here are the quotes:

“It’s actually quite useful because I can schedule appointments (like his weekly therapy) during that time and he doesn’t miss instruction time. Also we can go to mass with him if we wish, which is lovely.”

“To attend a weekly non-obligatory Mass? No. I can take care of that on Sunday.”

————-

I think “a conflict occurred that I didn’t expect/Larla is sick” is fine.  I also don’t think the Bishop or your priest is going to come after you for missing once or twice over the school year.

If your attitude is: “the academic instruction is more important than the Mass, so I’ll use Mass as a flex period to do other things”

“I don’t want Mass during the week for my kids, I’ll take care of it on Sunday”

then I respectfully wonder why you are in a Catholic school and I wonder about your understanding of Catholicism. [/quote]
I want Mass for my children. But if they have to miss school during the week for an appointment or something, during mass would be a strong contender for choice of a time because the obligation can still be met on Sunday. *shrug*[/quote]

And if you miss that obligation, you go straight to hell! If you don’t die or go to confession first that is[/quote]
