[quote=Anonymous]I grew up Catholic and am now an atheist. Despite that, I feel the pull of the Church at different times in my life.    It's a risk of marrying a Catholic. We're culturally Catholic even when we're atheist and sometimes we go back.

So... if the problem is that you would like to have Sunday morning with your husband and your kids, you need to ask him to find a work around. That could mean that he goes to a Saturday night mass, instead of Sunday morning mass. Saturday night mass is an allowed substitute for Sunday morning mass. I think the fellowship is better on Sunday morning, but he could find a fellowship in a study group or volunteer group if that is what he wants. That would let him attend mass and keep your Sunday mornings open for family.

You don't have to go to mass with him, but you might want to tag along for some of the family events at his parish. Parish picnics are fun. Fish fries are fun. (Do they do fish fries in DC?)  If there are youth sports through his parish that is also fun. The parish can be a great source of support for a family. I actually miss that part of being Catholic. [/quote]
