Mass Attendance

Mass attendance is a pretty simple mandate. Most parishes have multiple opportunities to fulfil the mandate, either in the parish or in an area faith community. I don't understand why people choose to skip Mass. It is a weekly chance to spend time with Jesus in the real presence of the Eucharist. It is an opportunity to hear the word of God and to hear the priest's interpretation of the words and how it applies to daily living.

Mass isn't just about the sacraments, or receiving those sacraments for the first time. It is so much more.
